About this study
Official title: Common Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Healthy Infants Receiving Goat Milk-based Formula or Cow Milk-based Formula: a Double-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial
The aim of this study was to assess common gastrointestinal symptoms in healthy Brazilian infants receiving goat milk-based infant formula (GMF) compared to cow's milk-based infant formula (CMF) during a 24 week intervention.
Read the detailed description
Anecdotal evidence shows that the use of goat milk-based infant formula decreases discomfort of infants with cow's milk related symptoms. In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, gastrointestinal comfort in infants fed goat milk-based infant formula (GMF) or cow's milk-based infant formula (CMF) was studied.
Fifty-six healthy infants aged 3-12 months were followed for 24 weeks. Stool consistency, regurgitation frequency and crying duration were measured weekly using an adapted version of the Cow's Milk-related Symptom Score (CoMiSS®) where only the items for these scores were used. Blood hemoglobin levels were measured at the start and at the end of the intervention.

Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06395571, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 May 2024.
