Filter by:LIN-MD-66 is a Phase 3 open-label study with 24 weeks (Functional Constipation participants) or 52 weeks (Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation participants) of linaclotide exposure that will enroll pediatric participants (6-17 years of age) with FC or IBS-C who completed study intervention in studies LIN-MD-62, LIN-MD-63, orLIN-MD-64 based on the individual study criteria.
To prospectively evaluate the clinical utility of baseline anorectal function testing using a point-of-care device in predicting response of chronically constipated patients to physical therapy biofeedback training.
Terminal constipation affects 13 to 20% of the french population. Anismus is defined by an absence of relaxation or a paradoxical contraction of the striated anal sphincter muscle during defecation. Anismus is one of the main causes of terminal constipation. Anismus diagnosis is retained if 2 out of 3 examinations (manometry, electromyogram, defecography) are positive. EndoFLIP® is a new medical device developed to measure distensibility of a hollow organ. Anal EndoFLIP® l could be a more sensitive and specific tool for detecting anismus in patients with distal constipation. 60 patients suffering from distal constipation will be included in order to perform, in addition to the usual examinations, an anal EndoFlip in order to test the sensitivity and specificity of this method for the diagnosis of anismus.
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records regarding chronic constipation
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Tai Chi practice in reducing symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C).
Constipation remains an important unmet medical need. Patients are currently often dissatisfied with treatment, because of lack of predictability of the laxative, side effects (mainly abdominal pain) and perceived decrease of efficacy with time. A recent systematic review of a range of laxatives reported that bisacodyl increases the number of complete spontaneous bowel movements statistically significant compared to placebo. Recently non-invasive Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques have been developed to assess small intestinal fluid distribution, transit and motility as well as colonic fluid, volumes and motility in healthy volunteers and constipated subjects. Other laxatives such as movecol and ispaghula have been investigated using this methodology. This study will use these novel techniques to further characterize bisacodyl's mode of action. This study is intended to assess the effect of a single-dose of bisacodyl on the gut motor function and its effect on water distribution within the small and large intestine in subjects with occasional constipation by MRI. It may allow better understanding of the relative importance of both the secretory and the prokinetic effect of bisacodyl. Since bisacodyl is often used by self-medicating people with constipation it is proposed to study subjects suffering from occasional constipation. As such subjects often take the drug intermittently it would be of interest to study both the acute response after single dose and the response after several days of treatment to see if this alters the response. The current study will be performed as a cross-over with 2-period and 2-treatment (bisacodyl/placebo), for assessing the effects over of a single-dose of 5mg bisacodyl. Evaluations will be performed after one single dose of bisacodyl or placebo in two different time periods, separated by a 2 week washout period between end of period 1 and start of period 2. The study will recruit individuals ≥18yrs from the general public who consider themselves as suffering from occasional constipation and who self-medicate with an occasional over-the counter (OTC) laxative, not more than once a week. Up to 18 adult healthy subjects will be recruited to ensure 10 evaluable subjects. An evaluable subject is defined as participant having the primary endpoint assessed (ascending colon T1 300, 375, and 450 minutes correctly evaluated) for the two periods of the crossover.

This study is intended to assess the effect of multiple doses of bisacodyl on the gut motor function and its effect on water distribution within the small and large intestine in subjects with occasional constipation by MRI.

Aim of the work to show rate of constipation among school age children in Assuit University Children Hospital
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose response, safety, and efficacy of linaclotide when compared with placebo in pediatric participants, 2 to 5 years of age, with Functional Constipation.
This study intends to evaluate the microbiome of chronically constipated patients as compared to those with a non-constipated gastrointestinal system.
