The Effect of Probiotic and Prebiotic Supplementation on Gastrointestinal Health in Individuals With Chronic Spinal Cord Injury

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Spinal Cord Injury

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of probiotic and prebiotic supplementation in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury experiencing gastrointestinal complaints. The main questions this trail aims to answer are: * what are the effects of the supplementation on gastrointestinal symptoms? * what are the effects of the supplementation on gut microbiome composition? * what are the effects of the supplementation on inflammatory serum markers? * what are the effects of the supplementation on gastrointestinal transit time? Participants will: * take either the probiotic or prebiotic supplement daily for eight weeks, followed by a four-week "wash-out period" (= no intake of either supplement) and a subsequent eight-week intake of the other supplement. * visit the study center for four appointments, during which various measurements will be performed.
