Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

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.
