Abstract in brief

  • The study aims to assess whether probiotics can improve core symptoms of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by balancing gut microbiota, which may influence the condition's severity.
  • It involves a 3-month trial where 160 children with ASD are randomly assigned to receive either probiotics or a placebo, alongside standard therapies, with their progress monitored before, during, and after treatment.
  • The research also explores how probiotics might affect the immune system, inflammation, metabolism, and gut bacteria composition, potentially revealing new insights into ASD treatment options.]
