Filter by:Constipation is one of the most common digestive problems in today's society. In Spain, it is estimated that this condition affects between 12% and 20% of the population, being more frequent in women, contributing considerably to the quality of life, to the increase of medical visits and to high costs for the health system. The objectives of the study are to reduce the rate of constipation and laxative use in the short term with a structured rehabilitation programme consisting of abdominal massage therapy and behavioural re-education, to improve the quality of life of these patients, and to assess whether the proposed treatment is effective in the short and medium term.
In this study, it will be investigated whether a daily 30-minute walk or abdominal breathing exercise is more effective on chronic constipation.

Spinal cord injury is a multi-sensory, motor and autonomic dysfunction, caused by various types of acute and chronic central nervous system injuries. And it will affect patient's ability to live normally and return to society. Due to lack of physical activity and psychological and environmental factors, the feces remain in the intestine for too long, and there will be excessive water absorption and lead to dryness and difficulty in excretion and it will be constipation. Chinese medicine, acupuncture and acupressure are the treatments of constipation in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupressure is a non- invasive intervention which is easy to learn and apply. We have carried out a number of studies on spinal cord injury rehabilitation support and acupressure to solve chronic problems such as constipation and anxiety. And this study aims to investigate the effects of acupressure combined with nursing intervention on constipation and quality of life in community-dwelling spinal cord injury patients.
Background and study aims: Constipation, which is difficulty going to the toilet to do a 'poo' is common in adults with learning disabilities (LD), but there is not a lot of knowledge (information) about the best way to help treat constipation experienced by adults with learning disabilities. Adults with learning disabilities who have constipation should be assessed and treated. There is knowledge to suggest that abdominal massage may help some people with constipation so that people with constipation can go to the toilet more easily. There is also knowledge to suggest that the use of a device to do the massage may be as beneficial as getting a carer to do it for the participant. This research wants to invite 40 adults with learning disabilities with constipation to take part. 30 will be offered the abdominal massage, either by a carer or the device, and 10 will not be offered the massage. However, the participants will be shown how to do it at the end of the study. This research wants to find out if people with LD are willing to take part in such a study and if the participants are more willing to let a carer do the massage, or would rather use the device. It is also important that the investigators know if the participants who are in the group not getting the massage are willing to continue in the research. Taking part for 6 weeks will provide the investigators with this important information before the investigators undertake a much larger study which the investigators need to do to find out if it helps with constipation.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Plecanatide in the treatment of Functional Constipation in Chinese patients for up to 12 weeks. Patients will enter a Screening period which must undergo a 2-week Pre-Treatment assessment, they will complete daily assessments of electronic dairy to demonstrate the eligibility. Eligible subjects will be randomized into Plecanatide 3 mg group or Placebo group at Visit 1 at the ratio of 1:1 and take an oral dose of study treatment continuously for 12 weeks. For 2 weeks after complete dosing patients will continue to complete daily electronic dairy. Patients will then return to the clinical site for efficacy and safety assessment as part of an End of Study visit. The planned duration of participation in this study will be 154 days and up to 164 days with all windows considered.
