Sponsored by Faming Zhang · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a randomized controlled trial to explore the efficacy of antibiotic pretreatment on the efficacy of WMT in the treatment of Irritable bowel syndrome in adults: a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study
All included in the standard but do not accord with standard of any rule out subjects will be included in this study. Demographic characteristics, Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scales(GSRS),IBS Symptom Severity Scaleand(IBS-SSS) 、Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)、Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)、Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS)and clinical outcomes will be collected. After the treatment, the efficacy and safety will be evaluated during the follow-up period.

(1) associated with defecation; (2) changes in defecation frequency; (3) changes in stool characteristics (appearance).
The following symptoms were not included in the diagnostic criteria but supported the diagnosis: (1) abnormal bowel frequency: bowel movements less than 3 times per week or more than 3 times per day; (2) the excrement characters and abnormal: dry bulb dung or hard dung, or paste dung/dilute waste water; (3) bowel effort; (4) Defecation urgency, endless defecation, mucus excretion and abdominal distension.
Diagnostic considerations: (1) Diagnosis should be based on the exclusion of organic diseases; (2) the intestinal symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome has certain characteristics, such as abdominal pain or discomfort with bowel movements, this group of symptoms is different from the other functional bowel disease, such as functional constipation, functional diarrhea, functional abdominal pain). (3) Irritable bowel syndrome often coexists with other functional gastrointestinal disorders.
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects meeting any of the following exclusion criteria must be excluded from the study:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.
Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.
Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Time frame: One-week, Four-week and Eight-week post-WMT
Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)
Self-rating anxiety Scale (SAS) is a self-rating scale used to evaluate the subjective feelings of patients with anxiety. It contains 20 items and is divided into 4 grades.
Time frame: One-week, Four-week and Eight-week post-WMT
Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS)
Self-rating Depression Scale,SDS is a self-rating scale that measures subjective feelings of depression. It contains 20 items and is scored on a 4-point scale.
Time frame: One-week, Four-week and Eight-week post-WMT
