Filter by:The purpose of this study is to confirm that the investigational medication, plecanatide, is safe and effective in treating chronic idiopathic constipation.
This was a randomized, double-blind, single-center, placebo-controlled, two-arm study. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of Momchilovtsi yogurt on: 1. Improving intestinal digestion and bowl movement; 2. Adjusting blood total Cholesterol and Triglycerides levels; 3. Adjusting microbiological flora (Clostridium perfringens bacteria, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) in gastrointestinal tract; 4. Adjusting short chain fatty acids (acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid) in in gastrointestinal tract.
In recent years, there has been an emphasis on the creation of "enhanced-recovery", "fast-track" or "multi-modal" pathways to improve perioperative care (1-4). The goal of these programs is to reduce the length of hospital stay, decrease narcotic usage while improving pain control, accelerate post-operative recovery, and expedite return to baseline functional status. Pathways often are developed by a team of surgeons, nurses, pain specialists, anesthesiologists and other support staff. Postoperative components often involve multi-modal analgesia, early return to activity and early return to a regular diet. The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a multi-modal pain regimen in advanced pelvic surgery with a primary goal of decreasing narcotic usage.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of olive oil and flaxseed oil in the treatment of constipation of patients undergoing hemodialysis.
To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of naloxegol after single oral dose and through population PK in paediatric patients with opioid induced constipation (OIC) or at risk of OIC.
Constipation is a disorder which can be associated with various pathologies or could also be an effect of the consumption of drugs, improper diet and life style. Is increasingly common the utilization of probiotics in foods. Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit to the host, the most widely used for milk-based drinks are lactic bacteria Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. The objective of the present study is to assess the effectiveness of the consumption of dairy beverage enriched with probiotic for the treatment of the symptoms of constipation.
This trial is to investigate efficacy and safety of YKP10811 in Subjects With Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Constipation. The difference of responder rate between test group (10, 20 and 40mg) and placebo will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to understand how a drug called Linaclotide improves bowel function and abdominal pain in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) as well as to examine whether Linaclotide alters communication between the brain and pelvic-floor region. Linaclotide has been shown to improve abdominal pain and bowel symptoms in IBS-C, and is approved by the FDA for the treatment of this condition. However, how exactly this drug works to relieve abdominal pain and discomfort in humans is not clearly known. Studies in animal models suggest that patients with IBS-C have hypersensitivity in the gut. Consequently, in IBS-C patients, there is rapid and excessive conduction of signals both from the brain and central nervous system region towards the pelvic-floor (anorectal axis) and the reverse direction. The investigators hypothesize that treatment with Linaclotide may improve/normalize these signals and thereby improve bowel symptoms. Investigators will test this theory using a new, noninvasive (and established) method of studying this communication pathway between the brain and gut.
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.
Emptying disorders are of the most common causes of constipation. An adjustable toilet seat was designed by " Shva-Nach" Ltd company, and is designed to facilitate the angle sitting position. Its efficacy will be evaluated in the current study, on 50 volunteers who suffer from constipation and meet the Rome 3 criteria for constipation.
