Filter by:This is a randomized trial of 36 otherwise healthy patients with chronic idiopathic constipation. The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of daily single-dose oral elobixibat and placebo for 7 days on colonic motor effects.
Constipation treatment has been found to ameliorate symptoms in some patients with nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting at night). This study aims to explore if treatment of patients without overt constipation (As defined by the ROME III criteria) will also respond to stool softening and GI behavioral therapy with reduction of their urinary tract symptoms when added to standard urotherapy.
Constipation treatment has been found to ameliorate symptoms in some patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction (including day time or combined day time/night time urinary incontinence). This study aims to explore if treatment of patients without overt constipation (As defined by the ROME III criteria) will also respond to anti-constipation treatment with reduction of their urinary tract symptoms. Assessment of severity and response of lower urinary tract dysfunction will be based on the Vancouver NULTD/DES questionnaire.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the complete resolution of constipation in participants taking PEG 3350 compared to those taking PEG 4000, based on analysis of the number of bowel movements from self-reported bowel movement (BM) data. The complete resolution of constipation is defined as the elimination of straining or of hard/lumpy stools.
Chronic kidney disease is associated with the accumulation of various metabolites, i.e., uremic retention solutes. Evidence is mounting that the colonic microbiome contributes substantially to these uremic retention solutes. Indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate are among the most extensively studied gut microbial metabolites, and are associated with cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease progression and overall mortality. Colonic transit time is an important determinant of intestinal generation and uptake of bacterial metabolites. However, it is unknown if accelerating the colonic transit time reduces the intestinal generation and uptake of indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate. Prucalopride is a selective, high-affinity 5-HT4 receptor agonist with a stimulating effect on colonic motility and transit. It is currently used in treating chronic slow-transit constipation. An observational study will be initiated in non-chronic kidney disease patients with chronic slow-transit constipation necessitating treatment with prucalopride to observe its effect on serum concentrations and intestinal generation of indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Functional Magnetic stimulation (FMS) on gastrointestinal motility in patients suffering from chronic constipation due to non-neurological issues.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of prucalopride in the treatment of Filipino patients with chronic constipation whom prior laxatives fail to provide adequate relief.
RATIONALE: Probiotic therapy may reduce or prevent gastrointestinal complications in patients undergoing chemotherapy and pelvic radiation therapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well probiotic therapy works in preventing gastrointestinal complications in patients undergoing chemotherapy and pelvic radiation therapy.
To prove the modify functional magnetic stimulation could improve constipation.
The purpose is to assess the efficacy, clinical outcomes, and potential Quality Indicator benefits associated with the use of Lubiprostone in nursing home residents with a confirmed diagnosis of chronic idiopathic constipation.
