Filter by:This study collects information on pregnant women with ongoing constipation who took prucalopride and those who did not take prucalopride. The main aim of the study is to learn if any medical problems in pregnant women or their infants might be related to taking prucalopride during pregnancy. Participants are not required to take prucalopride during the study. The study is non-interventional. Women and their infants are followed during pregnancy and for 1 year after pregnancy to collect information on maternal, pregnancy, and infant outcomes. During the study, participants will be asked questions during 3 telephone interviews; 2 during pregnancy and 1 just after their expected delivery date. Participants who took or are taking prucalopride will be asked more detailed questions about this during these interviews. All information is collected remotely, and no visits to the study site are required. Also, all participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their baby when their baby is about 1 year old.
Prucalopride is a medicine used to treat constipation. The main aim of the study is to measure prucalopride concentrations in breast milk. Other aims are to check the growth and development of babies breastfed by their mothers who took prucalopride and to check if the babies had any side effects. During the study, participants will provide one set of milk samples over 24 hours using an electric breast pump. Breast milk samples will be collected at home and will be shipped to the laboratory. Also, participants will be asked questions during telephone interviews every 2 months in the first year of their baby's life. They will also be asked to complete growth and development questionnaires about their baby.
In this double-blind comparative study, AJG533 (elobixibat) 10 mg or AJG533 placebo was orally administered once daily before meals for 12 weeks in patients with chronic constipation, and the primary endpoint was the change from Week 2 of the observation period in the number of complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBM) at Week 12 of the treatment period. The primary endpoint was the change in the number of complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBM) from Week 2 of the observation period.
The objective of this study is to study if low level laser therapy will do more good than harm for patients with severe chronic refractory constipation. It is a proof of concept study without a placebo arm.
This is a parallel group pilot study comparing the efficacy green kiwifruit, prunes or psyllium on abdominal and bowel related symptoms in US patients with chronic constipation patients.
Constipated patients in the participating center from February 2017 to June 2018 (anticipated) were prospectively enrolled. Number of defecation per week，Bristol score，and Colon transmission experiment were compared with the constipated patients before treatment.
This study aim was to evaluate the effect of pharmacological treatments normally used to treat functional constipation and in particular PEG, bisacodyl and prucalopride on colonic motility as assessed by high-resolution manometry.
Study includes 5 visits, when all basic clinical information, vital signs, symptoms, and side effects are going to be assessed at each appointment. Patients are going to be assigned by the computer, to receive an active or non-active drug for 14 days in a first phase. The order will be change during the second phase. The 2 weeks break without our medication will separate these phases. A very close observation regarding safety of our subjects will be implemented by study personnel and clinical investigators.
Randomized double blind controlled clinical trial. Participants will be enrolled at the New Civil Hospital of Guadalajara "Dr. Juan I. Menchaca" during the period from May 2017 to July 2018, from six to 59 months of either sex. The duration of each participant in the study will be of four weeks. Each participant will be randomized assigned to any of the different study groups: synbiotic, prebiotic, probiotic or placebo. Hypothesis: The efficacy of supplementation with a symbiotic, a prebiotic and a probiotic differs in its beneficial effect on the intestinal microbiota and the characteristics of feces in children with CP and chronic constipation.
Obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) is a common problem in women. Rectal prolapse and rectocoele are frequently identified in patients with ODS. Surgery is the only definite treatment for those patients and is preferably performed minimally invasive. The most used procedures are laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) and stapled trans-anal rectal resection (STARR). However, high-level prospective studies on treatment strategies for ODS currently are lacking and, thus, no consensus exist regarding the optimal treatment for patients with ODS. This study aimed to compare LVMR alone and LVMR combined with STARR evaluating functional and anatomical results.
