Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the role of dietary fibre in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) treatment, in particular the role of increasing the content of soluble or insoluble fibres in the daily diet. The primary objective is to compare soluble (psyllium) and insoluble (bran) to placebo, administered over 12 weeks in patients with ‘probable’ or ‘definite’ Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The primary efficacy parameter is the responder rate based on weekly assessment of adequate relief of IBS symptoms. Secondary efficacy parameters include changes in IBS related symptoms (abdominal pain, bowel habits) and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is 1) to determine whether a comprehensive self-management intervention is effective in a sample that includes men and women with irritable bowel syndrome, and 2) to determine whether the comprehensive self-management intervention is as effective when delivered over the telephone as compared to a face-to-face approach.
To test the efficacy of herbal medicine in relieving symptoms and change of quality of life of patients with IBS.
Recent literature has demonstrated that the group of IBS sufferers who experience mixed bowel habits may be more similar to IBS-C patients than IBS-D patients. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of tegaserod 6 mg b.i.d. in women with IBS and mixed bowel habits, excluding those with predominant diarrhea.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of PD-217,014 in the treatment of abdominal pain/discomfort associated with irritable bowel disease.
The purpose of this study was to determine the dose-ranging efficacy and safety profile of encapsulated Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 in female subjects with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
This is an 8-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel-group study with an additional two week baseline observation period to evaluate the safety of combination herbal therapy (CHT) versus placebo and short and long-term efficacy in terms of improved IBS, overall quality of life (QOL) and symptomatology.
This study is being done to collect new information on irritable bowel syndrome, a disease that causes abdominal pain that does get better with treatment or keeps coming back ("chronic"). To better understand what causes the irritable bowel syndrome, we are studying drugs used to treat pain, dextromethorphan, naloxone, fentanyl, and lidocaine. We will study the effects these drugs have on experimental pain. Dextromethorphan is used in non-prescription cough syrups. Naloxone is used for reversing the effects of narcotic pain relievers. Fentanyl is a narcotic used to treat pain and to make a person relaxed (sedated) before anesthesia. The purpose of this study is to see what kinds of pain are affected by these drugs in persons who have irritable bowel syndrome and persons who do not have this problem.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the investigational drug talnetant in treating subjects with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug, TRN-002 (crofelemer) to relieve the symptoms of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
