Gut germs for brain gains: probiotic trial aims to boost preterm baby development
NCT ID NCT07617181
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving a daily probiotic mixture for 6 months can improve brain development in preterm infants who received antibiotics after birth. Researchers will enroll 116 babies and measure their developmental scores, gut bacteria changes, and inflammation markers. The goal is to see if remodeling the gut microbiome early in life leads to better neurodevelopmental outcomes.
