Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (a procedure that puts healthy bacteria from a donor's stool into your gut) can help women with anorexia nervosa. It may improve gut health and potentially support recovery.

This trial studies whether giving healthy gut bacteria (called microbiota) can help restore normal gut-brain function in adults with anorexia nervosa. It may offer a new way to support recovery when standard treatment alone hasn't been enough.
This study looks at gut bacteria in women with anorexia nervosa compared to healthy women. It aims to understand how gut health relates to the condition and recovery.
This study looks at how changing the gut bacteria (microbiome) may affect people hospitalized for anorexia nervosa. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a very low BMI and meet the study’s timing and health requirements.
