Gut bacteria and development in children with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at the connection between the bacteria in a child's gut and their development and behavior. It may help researchers understand if gut health plays a role in autism symptoms.

This study tests whether a daily probiotic supplement (a mix of good bacteria) can help reduce autism symptoms in children. It lasts 3 months and involves filling out questionnaires about your child's behavior at the start and end of the trial.
This study is testing whether a probiotic supplement called Limosilactobacillus Reuteri might help reduce social difficulties in children with autism. It may offer a new way to support your child's social development.
This trial tests whether transplanting gut bacteria from a healthy family member can improve gut symptoms and behavior in people with autism. It is a phase 1 study, meaning it is early testing to see if the treatment is safe and well-tolerated.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy bacteria into the gut (called fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve digestive symptoms and autism-related behaviors in children. If your child has autism and ongoing digestive issues, this treatment may help.
This study tests whether a probiotic formula can help ease tummy troubles (like diarrhea, constipation, or belly pain) in children with autism. It might help by improving gut health, which could also affect overall well-being.
