NCT ID NCT07681505
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study investigates whether the bacteria living in the gut influence the development of diverticular disease and acute diverticulitis. Researchers will compare the gut microbiota of people with and without these conditions to identify differences and risk factors. The goal is to better understand the disease and find ways to prevent or treat it.
