: Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, often reported by individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), may impair functionality and exacerbate behavioral symptoms. Gut dysbiosis has been identified as a potential environmental factor influencing these symptoms through gut-brain axis dysregulation. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a promising therapeutic strategy with potential to alleviate symptoms. This review systematically evaluates the efficacy and safety of FMT in GI and ASD-related symptoms. : This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO. The review included clinical trials on FMT in children and adolescents with ASD, published up to October 2024. The bias assessments were performed using Cochrane tools. Outcomes focused on changes in GI and ASD-related symptoms using scales selected by the authors. : This systematic review included two RCTs and seven before-and-after studies. Improvements in GI and ASD-related outcomes were reported in all before-and-after studies, whereas the results of RCTs were inconsistent. The before-and-after studies showed a high risk of bias, while the RCTs demonstrated a low risk. : Although many studies have been conducted, the methodological limitations of some and contradictory findings of others make it difficult to draw clear conclusions about the effectiveness of FMT in children with ASD. Variations in intervention protocols underscore the importance of establishing standardized FMT procedures in future rigorously designed trials.
胃肠道(GI)症状常被自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)患者报告,可能会损害功能并加剧行为症状。肠道微生物群失调已被确定为通过肠-脑轴失调影响这些症状的潜在环境因素。粪便微生物群移植(FMT)是一种有前景的治疗策略,有可能缓解症状。本综述系统评价了FMT治疗胃肠道及ASD相关症状的疗效和安全性。:本系统评价遵循PRISMA 2020指南,并在PROSPERO中注册。该综述纳入了截至2024年10月发表的关于FMT治疗ASD儿童和青少年的临床试验。使用Cochrane工具进行偏倚评估。结局指标聚焦于使用作者选择的量表评估胃肠道及ASD相关症状的变化。:本系统评价纳入了两项随机对照试验(RCT)和七项前后对照研究。所有前后对照研究均报告了胃肠道及ASD相关结局的改善,而RCT的结果不一致。前后对照研究显示出较高的偏倚风险,而RCT显示出较低的偏倚风险。:尽管已经进行了许多研究,但一些研究的方法学局限性以及其他研究相互矛盾的结果使得难以就FMT对ASD儿童的有效性得出明确结论。干预方案的差异凸显了在未来严格设计的试验中建立标准化FMT程序的重要性。
