Probiotic treatment for juvenile fibromyalgia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a probiotic (a beneficial bacteria supplement) called PRL2019 to see if it can improve symptoms of juvenile fibromyalgia, a condition causing widespread pain and fatigue in young people. It may help by balancing gut bacteria, which could affect pain and inflammation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
