NCT ID NCT07660367
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will compare two probiotic drinks—Bacillus clausii and a mix of four bacterial strains—in 138 children aged 1 to 5 with acute watery diarrhea. All children will also receive standard care like rehydration and zinc. The goal is to see which probiotic reduces diarrhea duration and stool frequency more effectively.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
probiotics (Bacillus clausii or multistrain Lactobacillus/Bifidobacterium/Streptococcus)
What this could lead to
If one probiotic works better, it could offer a simple, safe way to help kids recover faster from diarrhea.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 138 children, so results may not apply broadly. Probiotics are generally safe but may not always shorten diarrhea.
