Filter by:A randomised and controlled trial, in which the effect of Modern Colon Hydrotherapy is evaluated in the gastrointestinal transit of subjects with functional constipation
The objective of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Skal Pro in alleviating symptoms, enhancing stool consistency, improving quality of life, and addressing psychological distress in individuals diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as compared to those who receive no intervention.
The CRC DRAW study will assess the sensitivity and specificity of the blood-based, Next-Gen CRC Screening Test for the detection of CRC.
This is a multicenter cross-sectional study on the prevalence of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the risk factors associated with it. The Rome IV criteria is used for diagnosing IBS. A questionnaire-guided interview will be applied to all subjects.
The aim of this randomized prospective trial is to assess the utility of Adequacy of Anaesthesia technique (Response Entropy and Surgical Pleth Index) for monitoring pain perception intraoperatively and its influence on postoperative pain perception, both patients' and operators' satisfaction in patients undergoing colonoscopic procedures under intravenous sedation using propofol and fentanyl.
Colonoscopy is one of the most common endoscopic procedures today. However, it sometimes can be a serious challenging situation both for the clinicians and patients. In this study, the investigators tried to determine which colonoscopic position allows easy, fast and comfortable way.
Peppermint oil has shown to be effective in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms in several meta-analyses. However, the level of evidence is moderate and peppermint oil remains relatively under-used in IBS. Therefore, the investigators will conduct a multicenter randomized, placebo controlled trial to investigate the effects of an eight-week peppermint oil treatment in IBS patients according to current European Medicines Agency (EMA) / US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. To improve efficacy and to reduce side effects, the investigators aim to study the use of a new peppermint oil formulation, a colon-targeted-delivery capsule that will release the oil in the (ileo-) colonic region specifically.
Brain imaging has shown abnormal brain activations in response to visceral stimulation in patients with the Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Functional Dyspepsia (FD). To investigate the possible role of the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (NTS), the primary relay station in the brainstem for vagal afferents, its activation in IBS and functional dyspepsia patients will be evaluated. Prior to this, an exploratory study in healthy volunteers will be conducted. This will be the first high magnetic field fMRI study (7T) evaluating the possible role of NTS activation in visceral abdominal pain. Moreover, this will be the first pharmacological fMRI study using duodenal capsaicin infusion as a chemical stimulus, which is more physiological than mechano-stimulation in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine is conducting a research study on Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a common condition in North America. It is a long term, recurring gastrointestinal disorder that is estimated to affect 30% of the general population. IBS is characterized by abdominal pain and cramps, and bowel dysfunction such as diarrhea and bloating. The medicines that are currently used to help people with IBS are not as effective as we would like them to be. These medicines are usually only prescribed to reduce the pain of IBS and not actually treat the disorder itself. Recently, scientists have found that probiotics (beneficial bacteria that live inside humans) may help reduce the painful symptoms and diarrhea that are part of IBS. This research is being conducted to determine whether this particular combination of three probiotic bacteria (named Lactobacillus gasseri, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium longum) will reduce the symptoms of severe IBS.
