Could a poop transplant tame MS? early trial explores Gut-Brain link
NCT ID NCT03594487
Summary
This small, early-stage study tested whether transferring healthy donor stool into the gut of people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) was safe and could change their immune system. Five participants received the transplant via colonoscopy after taking antibiotics, and their gut bacteria and immune markers were tracked for a year. The goal was to see if altering gut bacteria could help control the overactive immune response seen in MS.
