First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether taking a probiotic supplement for 8 weeks could reduce inflammation and pain in teenagers (ages 13-17) who have chronic pain and a body mass index at or above the 85th percentile. Researchers measured changes in a blood marker of inflammation (C-reactive protein) and pain levels. The goal was to see if probiotics could be a simple, safe way to ease symptoms.
