Stress and gut health in pilots
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how stress affects the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) and whether balancing it can improve your decision-making during flights. If you're a healthy pilot, you may help find ways to optimize performance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a pilot with an instrument rating.
- You are generally healthy.
- You do not have a mental illness, chronic inflammatory disease, or gastrointestinal disease.
