For most people, constipation is a temporary nuisance. But for those living with scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease, severe and persistent constipation can become a debilitating struggle that standard treatments cannot fix.
At McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, Dr. Zsuzsanna H. McMahan and her team are leading a clinical trial focused on microbiome transplantation, a promising approach designed to restore gut balance and improve bowel function. This innovative treatment could significantly enhance the quality of life for scleroderma patients who suffer from unrelenting digestive issues.
Over six months, the team will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of microbiome transplantation, measuring improvements in constipation and overall gut health. This research could pave the way for a breakthrough treatment, but we need your help to make it happen.
