In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study is a randomized clinical trial evaluating fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for ulcerative colitis (UC) using healthy donors from two ethnic groups in Yunnan, China. UC is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease causing colon inflammation and ulcers. FMT transfers gut bacteria from a healthy donor to a patient to restore healthy intestinal microbiota. Previous research suggested that FMT using donors from the Dai ethnic group (a minority nationality in Yunnan with special dietary habits) may achieve better results than Han Chinese donors for UC. This study aims to confirm this finding and understand why. The investigators will recruit 200 UC patients (ages 18-60) and randomly assign them to two groups (100 each). One group will receive FMT from healthy Han donors; the other from healthy Dai donors. Patients will receive three FMT infusions via endoscopic intestinal tubing.
