Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether a daily use of a Kneipp hot cataplasm with caraway oil is effective in the treatment of abdominal pain and complaints caused by Irritable bowel syndrome.
New and effective treatments are needed for patients with post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS). We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of glutamine, an abundant amino acid in the body and the principal fuel for enterocytes, in patients who developed diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome with increased intestinal permeability following an enteric infection.
The aim of the current study is to test the hypothesis that patients with IBS may have a defective ICV pressures and may have small bowel bacterial overgrowth. The goal of the current study is to identify the role and competence of ileocecal valve (ICV) in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. The primary objective is to measure the pressure of the ileocecal valve in patients with and without irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The Ileocecal valve reflux pressures during air insufflation of cecum will be used.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of long acting mesalamine (Lialda) in patients with Post-Infective Irritable Bowel Syndrome (PI-IBS). The investigators will evaluate gastrointestinal symptoms, IBS specific quality of life (IBS-QOL), and plasma cytokines before and after treatment with Lialda.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacodynamic effects, pharmacokinetics, and safety of two oral formulations (tablet and capsule) of LX1033 in normal healthy volunteers.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of 2 IBS treatment strategies: - Strategy A = MeteoSpasmyl®, on-demand therapy - Strategy B = standard of care chosen by the physician
In this randomized controlled study in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the investigators plan to compare the effects of a multidisciplinary structured patient group education with a compressed nurse based structured patient group education. The effects of the interventions on gastrointestinal (GI) and psychological symptom severity, knowledge and quality of life will be assessed with validated questionnaires at baseline and 3, 6 and 12 months after the intervention.
The purpose of the present study is to study the effect of aloe vera in the treatment of IBS patients in a randomized, double-blind placebo controlled study.
The investigators will evaluate the efficacy of soy dietary fiber in adults with diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome.
Despite the pathophysiology of IBS remains largely unsettled, several mechanisms have been proposed to explain symptom generation. These include psychosocial factors, altered gastrointestinal motor function and altered perception of visceral stimuli because of chronic low-grade inflammation and increased nociceptive mediator release by inflammatory cells, particularly mast cells. The aim of this pilot study is to provide evidence of: 1. intestinal mast cell (MC) infiltration and activation in IBS patients; 2. down-modulation of MC activation by the oral administration of the association of palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and polydatin in IBS patients.
