In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study is a prospective, single-center, parallel-design,1:1 randomized controlled trial with triple blinding.

This study is divided into two phases for recruiting participants. The first phase recruits 10 individuals (experimental group: 5, control group: 5), while the second phase recruits 30 individuals (experimental group: 15, control group: 15).The main research objectives are as follows: 1. To observe the difference in cognitive function between the FMT group and the placebo group, with the indicators including cognitive scale scores, changes in brain MRI imaging indicato
