Adherence/Outcomes After Use of Constipation Action Plan

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Adherence to recommendations for treatment of chronic constipation in pediatric population is often poor. This study is attempting to improve adherence, and outcomes, by implementing a trial of a constipation action plan plus standard of care, compared to standard of care alone, in an outpatient pediatric population.

Clinical Trial Description

Functional Constipation is a common childhood problem. The goal of this study is to evaluate if a constipation action plan had any impact on improved adherence in management. Children are eligible to participate in the study if they are otherwise healthy children whose primary language is English with no conditions that would predispose them to develop constipation, between the ages of 3 and 8 years of age and if they meet the ROME IV criteria for functional constipation. The primary objective is to assess compliance in pediatric patients with functional constipation that have been provided a constipation action plan plus educational information. The secondary objectives are to assess improvement of constipation symptoms in pediatric patients with functional constipation that have been provided a constipation action plan and educational information and to assess the perceived effectiveness of the constipation action plan from the viewpoint of the family. The proposed study hypothesizes that patients diagnosed with functional constipation will have improved adherence to medication treatment plan, to fiber intake, and to toilet sit time and have improved constipation symptoms overall when provided with both a constipation action plan and educational information regarding dietary changes, toilet sit time, and medications as compared to education information alone. ;
