Filter by:Constipation is common in the general population, especially in women and in the elderly. Hard stool is a complaint often associated with constipation, which suggests that stool softening would provide a major benefit in the strategy of treatment. This investigative fibre product is primarily a soluble dietary fibre with added probiotics and a prebiotic. It is not digested in the small intestine and partly remains undigested by bacteria in the gut. Also, as probiotics are believed to help restore a healthy gut flora, reduce pH, assist with digestion of food and reduce gaseous by-products they may aid the improvement of intestinal motility. The objective of this study is to assess if this investigative, fibre product effects the number of bowel movements per week and if this in turn impacts quality of life and symptoms of constipation.
This trial is primarily aimed to compare the effect and safety of electro-acupuncture and prucalopride for severe chronic constipation: if the short-term effect of electro-acupuncture is no inferior to prucalopride? Besides, the investigators will also mainly confirm the superiority of electro-acupuncture: if the effect of electro-acupuncture can last for 3~6 months? Then, assess the patients' acceptance of electro-acupuncture.
Study to determine if children (6-17 years old) with functional constipation will respond to being treated with lubiprostone for 12 weeks.
This is a study intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the vibrating capsule versus sham non-vibrating capsule on spontaneous bowel movement, in aiding reliving Constipated Individuals
The administration of agar jelly may increase the number of defecation and the volume of feces, and then may improve fecal condition in chronic constipated patients.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether Lactobacillus reuteri could have a beneficial role in treatment of children and adolescents with Anorexia nervosa who develop motility disorder due to the malnutrition regarding the normalization of the motility, as well as the possible role of probiotics on nutritional recovery, especially on bone health.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of naldemedine in the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in subjects with non-malignant chronic pain who are not using laxatives
To evaluate the pharmacodynamics and tolerability of a liquid formulation of lubiprostone, as compared to matching placebo, when administered orally to subjects with chronic idiopathic constipation. Additionally, liquid formulation pharmacokinetics, including a comparison of fed and fasted pharmacokinetics, of the liquid formulation will be performed in a subset of subjects.
This will be a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of YKP10811 capsules in patients with chronic idiopathic constipation. Following a 2-week baseline period, approximately 320 eligible patients with <3 complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBM) and ≤ 5 SBMs per week will be randomly assigned equally to receive one of the following oral treatments; placebo or YKP10811 capsules once daily for 12 weeks followed by a 2 week follow-up period. The objectives of this study are: - To assess the efficacy of YKP10811 once daily at relieving constipation and associated symptoms in subjects with chronic idiopathic constipation. - To determine the safety and tolerability of YKP10811 once daily in subjects with chronic idiopathic constipation.
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Lactobacillus casei rhamnosus Lcr35 administration for the treatment of functional constipation in children.
