Mediterranean diet may ease arthritis in kids
NCT ID NCT06474546
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a Mediterranean-style diet can improve arthritis symptoms in children by changing the bacteria in their gut. Fifty-four children aged 8-18 with juvenile idiopathic arthritis will follow the diet for 8 weeks, with an option to continue for 4 more weeks. Researchers will collect stool and blood samples, along with diet and symptom reports, to see if the diet helps and if gut changes are linked to improvement.
