NCT03233100

Brief Summary

Constipated patients often have mental problems such as depression and anxiety due to difficult defecation. Our previous studies have proved the efficacy of FMT treating constipation. Meanwhile it is believed that mental diseases are correlated to gut microbiota. This trial is based on the theory of the gut-brain-microbiota axis. Patients with constipation, depression and/or anxiety are performed FMT, laboratory, imaging and microbiota examinations, and clinical follow-up, to observe the clinical efficiency of FMT and the potential role of gut microbiome in these gut-brain disorders.
