Summary

This study looked at whether taking a probiotic supplement for 8 weeks could lower inflammation and ease 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 for inflammation and asked participants about their worst pain levels. The goal was to see if a simple, over-the-counter supplement could offer relief.
