Overview

Brief Summary

This is a single-center trial, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled clinical intervention study which intends to explore the safety and effectiveness of FMT capsule for the treatment of ulcerative colitis with depression.

Detailed Description

A total of 54 patients with definite diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (light-to-moderate active period) with depressive state were included. According to the random table, patients were randomly divided into the FMT capsule group and the placebo group, and received the FMT capsule and placebo interventions once a week for 4 consecutive times, respectively. The patients were followed up at the 4th, 8th and 12th week of intervention, and a simple physical examination was performed to evaluate the patient's condition changes (abdominal pain degree score, diarrhea frequency, stool characteristics and extraintestinal manifestations such as skin and joints) and modified Mayo score , IBD-QOL scale, PHQ9, SDS, HADS, HAMA, HAMD scale, etc. The improvement and effective colonization of the intestinal flora in the FMT capsule group or the placebo group of patients with depression and IBD were observed by methods such as 16S rRNA analysis of the intestinal flora In the 12th weeks.
