Could swapping gut bugs ease a painful skin disease?
NCT ID NCT06058520
Summary
This early pilot study is exploring a new idea: whether swallowing capsules containing healthy gut bacteria from a donor can change a person's gut microbiome and potentially help with the painful skin condition hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Researchers will enroll 16 adults with HS to see if this 'microbiota transplant' changes the bacteria in their gut and on their skin, and if it leads to any improvement in their symptoms and quality of life. The main goal is to gather initial data to understand how the treatment works, not to prove it is a cure.
