Safety and Tolerability Extension Trial for Patients with Chronic Idiopathic Constipation
In this research study the investigators want to screen Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) patients for signs and symptoms of constipation in patients over 18. The investigators hypothesized: - DMD patients have a high prevalence of constipation than in the general population. - Prevalence of constipation will increase with age and with worsening functional status.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and tolerability of oral ingestion of PEG 3350 solution concentrate to oral ingestion of a placebo solution concentrate, in participants with constipation.
This clinical trial is an international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial comparing one dose of linaclotide to placebo. Approximately 800 patients with a diagnosis of IBS-C (modified Rome III criteria) will be randomized at up to 60 trial centers in China, Australia, and New Zealand. The trial will consist of up to 21 days of screening, 14 to 21 days of pre-treatment, 12 weeks of double-blind treatment, and 2 weeks of follow-up. At the end of the Pre-treatment Period, patients meeting the entry criteria for this trial will be randomized to one of two double-blind treatment groups: 290 ug linaclotide, or placebo (1:1).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the differences or similarities in the results obtained with two different scoring systems for chronic constipation in Asian participants consulting in gastroenterology clinics (the Asian Neurogastro-enterology and Motility Association (ANMA) chronic constipation (CC) diagnostic tool (diagnosis questionnaire) and the ROME III diagnosis criteria (western gold standard).
This study investigated the effect of preoperative bowel preparations for patients undergoing spinal fusion surgery.
Background: Aim: Clinical evaluation of the effectiveness of two different polyethylene glycol doses for the maintenance treatment of functional constipation in children. Study design: Randomized, open-label trial. Randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial.
Gastrointestinal discomfort regularly affects >25% of the population worldwide. One of the major contributors to Gastrointestinal discomfort is constipation, which has a prevalence of ~15%, and symptoms of which have a significant negative impact on the sufferer's quality of life. One of the hallmarks of chronic constipation is slow progression of contents through the gut (i.e. slow gut / colonic transit time), which may be associated with hard stools that are difficult to expel. Previous studies have shown that probiotics improve colonic transit times in constipated patients. In addition, several other studies, employing a range of different probiotic strains, have shown a significant increase in defaecation frequency and improvement in stool consistency. However, the clinical relevance of these results is uncertain, due to small sample sizes and limitations in study methodology. The current study is designed to compare changes in gut transit time and gastrointestinal symptoms following 4 weeks consumption of a probiotic strain in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled manner, in adults with constipation.
