Summary

This study looks at whether a common dietary fiber called inulin can improve fatigue and thinking problems in people recovering from brain injuries. Researchers will give inulin to 130 adults in neurorehabilitation and track changes in their gut bacteria and symptoms. The goal is to see if altering the gut microbiome can ease brain-related symptoms during recovery.
