Safety and efficacy of FMT in Pediatric Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The gut microbiota is critical to health and functions with a level of complexity comparable to that of an organ system. Dysbiosis, or alterations of this gut microbiota ecology, have been implicated in a number of disease states. Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), also known as brain-intestinal interaction abnormalities, are associated with dynamic disorders, high visceral sensitivity, changes in mucosal and immune functions, changes in intestinal flora, and abnormal central nervous system regulatory functions. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a process in which a presumed healthy and diverse microbiome is transplanted to a patient using a nasogastric tube, colonoscopy, or enema, or Fecal capsule to remodel the intestinal flora balance. At present, there are few clinical studies on the treatment of FGID in children with FMT. The investigators prospectively enrolled functional children who met the Rome IV standard, and divided them into conventional treatment group or FMT group with open choice. The efficacy of the two groups was collected and compared at different time points, and the flora of children in the FMT group before and after treatment was collected to monitor FMT-related adverse reactions

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Children with functional gastrointestinal disease were divided into two groups, one group was given FMT combined with conventional drug intervention, and the other group was given conventional drug intervention, including: probiotics and/or omeprazole, and/or cyproheptadine, and/or amitriptyline, and/or moxapride
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

fecal microbiota transplantation

Fecal microbiota transplantation routes include the upper digestive tract, lower digestive tract, or oral fecal microbiota transplantation capsules

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

FMT

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

FMT is a technique in which intestinal microbiota are transferred from a healthy screened donor to a patient, with the goal being to introduce or restore a stable microbial community in the gut. FMT was given 1-3courses, 3-6 times per courses

Conventional drug intervention

Conventional drugs include: probiotics and omeprazole, and cyproheptadine and moxapride.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Conventional drugs

Intervention Type DRUG

Conventional drugs include probiotics and omeprazole, and cyproheptadine and moxapride
