Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical trial aims to learn about the efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation in patients with chronic insomnia disorder. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer is:

• Effectiveness of the FMT oral capsule route for patients with chronic insomnia Participants in the intervention group will be given FMT by boral capsule pathway, and in the control group, they will be given the same appearance capsules containing starch.

Researchers will compare the sleep status(PSQI and PSG)of the patients in both groups.

FMT

Investigators have 2 subgroups here, pure Fecal microbiota transplantation-F: Fecal microbiota capsules(0.75g stool/capsule) (60 capsules), within 3 days, another 20 fecal microbiota capsules(0.75g stool/capsule) at week 2. Additionally, they will take placebo B for 45 days from the beginning; Fecal microbiota transplantation+synbiotics-M: Fecal microbiota capsules(0.75g stool/capsule) (60 capsules), within 3 days, another 20 fecal microbiota capsules(0.75g stool/capsule) at week 2. Additionally, they will take synbiotics (Lactobacillus Helveticus Bifidobacterium longum + inulin) (3g/day) for 45 days from the beginning.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

FMT utilizes stool from a healthy donor and puts them into capsules after processing

Investigators have 2 subgroups here, synbiotics control-S: PlaceboA capsules (60 capsules), within 3 days, another 20 placeboA capsules(0.75g stool/capsule) at week 2. Additionally, they will take synbiotics (Lactobacillus Helveticas+ Bifidobacterial longum + inulin) (3g/day) for 45 days from the beginning; Double Placebo-P: PlaceboA capsules (60 capsules), within 3 days, another 20 placeboA capsules(0.75g stool/capsule) at week 2. Additionally, they will take placebo B for 45 days from the beginning.
