Clinical Trial Summary

To compare the effect of aerobic exercise and the acupuncture on the quality of life in women with irritable bowel syndrome


Clinical Trial Description

Patients with IBS have a higher prevalence of migraine, fibromyalgia and depression. Donald et al. have shown that physically active elderly participants were less likely to be constipated than their less active counterparts. On the quality of life Physical activity has also been shown to reduce mouth-to-anus transit time and among individuals with constipation, higher levels of physical activity were found to be associated with improved physical functioning and health perceptions. Similarly, other finding studies are not consistent with some small observational studies which have failed to report positive associations between exercise and constipation, reported that orocecal transit time was accelerated during mild exercise. Of some relevance to the findings reported here is a recent randomized controlled trials (RCT) that found walking to be an effective intervention for improving the degree of bowel cleansing in preparation for a colonoscopy. There is a contradiction between studies. However, study results on acupuncture in IBS are mixed, and more larger trials are needed to fully support the claims of acupuncture in helping with IBS there's a contradiction between the studies so, the present study will be conducted to compare the effect of aerobic exercise and acupuncture on women with irritable bowel syndrome and to solve the contradiction. . ;
