This is a 2-arm, parallel-group active- and placebo-controlled, double-blind randomised study, stratified by gender and with a hybrid crossover group design, to compare treatment with prucalopride 2 mg/day (intended therapeutic dose) and prucalopride 10 mg/day (supratherapeutic dose) with placebo. A single oral dose of 400 mg moxifloxacin is included as a positive control in terms of the effect on cardiac repolarisation. Study hypothesis: Treatment with therapeutic (2 mg) or supratherapeutic (10 mg) doses of prucalopride in healthy male and female volunteers will not increase QTc interval compared to placebo.
The primary objectives are - to demonstrate that the treatment with OXN PR tablets is non-inferior to the treatment with OxyPR with regards to analgesic efficacy and locomotor function. - to demonstrate that subjects with moderate to severe OA pain taking oxycodone/naloxone prolonged release tablets have improvement in symptoms of constipation compared to subjects taking oxycodone prolonged release tablets alone
The purpose of this study is to determine if docusate is effective in the treatment of constipation in palliative care patients.
During radiation treatment for head and neck cancer a large percentage of patients at Mayo Clinic Rochester develop the need for tube feeding to meet nutrition and hydration needs. These patients are usually taking pain medication along with a stool softener or laxative. Currently, when these patients get a feeding tube it is our standard practice to choose a fiber-free enteral tube feeding formula as to not worsen their constipation. Currently, there are no guidelines as to which patients are good candidates for fiber containing enteral tube feeding formulas. The investigators hope this study will help determine if fiber containing enteral tube feeding formulas can be used for patients undergoing radiation for head and neck cancer without increasing rates of constipation or increasing use of stool softeners/laxatives. Hypothesis: Participants enrolled in the study will not have increased rates of constipation on fiber-containing enteral tube feeding formula compared to historical standards on fiber-free formula.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a phytotherapeutic laxative tea, composed by Pimpinella anisum, Foeniculum vulgare, Sambucus nigra and Cassia angustifolia, in a randomized crossover placebo-controlled clinical trial in patients with chronic constipation.

The study is to evaluate the influence of three different doses of PEG 3350 with or without electrolytes on the electrolyte balance in patient volunteers with confirmed chronic constipation.
The purpose of this study is to study factors (drugs, serum concentration of drugs, nutrition, physical activity, demographics, diseases etc.) related to constipation and diarrhea in nursing homes, and the effect of different laxative regimens.
