Baseline Characteristics for a Probiotic Trial on Functional Constipation

78 adult participants with functional constipation (Rome IV criteria) were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The dataset likely contains baseline characteristics for the probiotic and placebo groups, collected by Hyung Gyu Park. The trial was registered with the Clinical Research Information Service (CRIS) under KCT0010085.
