NCT ID NCT06760897
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether transplanting specific stomach bacteria (probiotics) could relieve symptoms of functional dyspepsia, a common digestive disorder. 74 adults with indigestion but no H. pylori infection received either the probiotic or a placebo. The main goal was to see if symptoms improved over 8 weeks, measured by a standard symptom scale.
