Gut bacteria transplant trial offers new hope for anorexia

NCT ID NCT07143981

Summary

This study is testing whether a fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) can help people with severe anorexia nervosa. Researchers will give FMT capsules to 20 participants to see if changing their gut bacteria improves their metabolism, immune system, and harmful thoughts about food and weight. The goal is to find a new way to break the cycle of this serious eating disorder.
