Quality of Life Clinical Trial

Official title:
Therapeutic Effects of Mesalamine and Amitriptyline in IBS: a Randomized Clinical Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of Mesalamine and Amitriptyline drugs on the Quality of Life and Symptom Severity Scale in patients with Diarrhea- Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-D).

All patients will fill three validated questionnaires (IBS Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS) , Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS ) and IBS Quality of Life (IBS-QOL) ) at the beginning of trial and at weeks 2,4,6 and 8 of treatment.

Serum Immune Bio markers will be measured at 0,4, and 8 weeks of treatment. This study is a clinical trial upon 90 patients with Diarrhea- Predominant IBS (IBS-D) who are referred for the first time to our private gastrointestinal clinic from 2014 until 2016.

All patients who meet the inclusion criteria enrolled for a 2-week period screening phase. In order to exclude patients with Lactose intolerance, all patients take a lactose-free diet for 14 days before inclusion and patients whose symptoms improve by this regimen will be excluded.

This trial is a double-blind study and all patients will be assigned randomly to three groups:

1. Mesalazine group: Patients receive Asacol (800 mg/TDS) and a placebo agent similar to Amitriptyline (10 mg/HS) for 8 weeks

2. Amitriptyline group: Patients receive Amitriptyline (10 mg/HS) and a placebo like Asacol (800 mg/ TDS) for 8 weeks

3. Control group (placebo group): Patients receive placebo like Asacol (800 mg/TDS) and placebo similar to Amitriptyline (10 mg/HS) for 8 weeks

Ethical considerations:

1. All patients will fulfill an informed consent

2. Drugs are available without any charge

3. Observation of Helsinki ethical statement
