NCT ID NCT07654985
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special yogurt containing the probiotic Pediococcus acidilactici GR-5 can help people with chronic cholecystitis (long-term gallbladder inflammation). Fifty adults with the condition will eat either the probiotic yogurt or a regular placebo yogurt daily for 30 days. Researchers will check gallbladder health via ultrasound and analyze gut bacteria and blood markers to see if the probiotic reduces symptoms.
