Gut bugs vs. genetic hunger: can probiotics tame a rare disorder?
NCT ID NCT05791604
Summary
This study is testing whether dietary supplements called prebiotics and probiotics can help control appetite and weight gain in children with Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes constant hunger and severe obesity. Sixty children will be divided into groups to receive either the supplements or a placebo, and researchers will track changes in their weight, gut bacteria, and health markers. The goal is to find a safe, new way to manage a major symptom of this condition for which there are currently no effective appetite-control drugs.
