NCT ID NCT07651332
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement (OMNi-BiOTiC® SR-9) twice daily for 90 days can improve gut health and recovery in people aged 60 and older who have had an acute ischemic stroke. The study will compare the probiotic to a placebo in 220 participants, looking at changes in gut bacteria and disability levels. The goal is to see if a simple dietary supplement can support better outcomes after a stroke.
