Clinical trial

Efficacy and Safety of Washed Microbiota Transplantation for Rhinitis

Name
WMT-CN-RH
Description
The common symptoms of rhinitis include nasal itching, sneezing, anterior or posterior nasal leakage, and nasal congestion. Rhinitis can be classified as allergic rhinitis (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis (NAR) based on the presence of a specific allergen. Increasing evidence showed that gut microbiota can influence the development of AR. Although few studies have reported the association between NAR and gut microbiota, we found that washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) could improve nasal symptoms, whether it is AR or NAR. This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of WMT for rhinitis.
