Filter by:The study is being completed to test the pilot implementation of a rapid clinical care pathway for chronic constipation in the University of Michigan Gastroenterology clinic. This study will learn how often patients get better and how satisfied patients are with care decisions, when seen by a gastroenterologist for medical advice on constipation.
In this study, we will evaluate the efficacy of prebiotics combined with quadruple probiotics in the treatment of functional constipation through an open RCT study. The experimental group received lifestyle guidance and combined intervention of prebiotics and quadruple probiotics at the same time. The patients took the combination of prebiotics and probiotics twice a day during the treatment period. The control group received only lifestyle instruction. At the same time, to evaluate the safety of probiotics combined with quadruple probiotics in the treatment of functional constipation, and provide a new treatment plan for clinical treatment of functional constipation.
Open-label long-term safety study of tenapanor in pediatric patients with IBS-C.
It has been determined that three out of every four people in the society do not have sufficient physical activity level, and 54% of individuals between the ages of 15-19 and over 55 are sedentary. As a result of this, the probability of encountering the problem of constipation may increase. There are many methods in the treatment of constipation. When examined in terms of exercise interventions, it was found that 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week was effective in reducing the symptoms of constipation, while aerobic exercise performed less than 140 minutes/week did not improve the symptoms of constipation. It has been reported that individuals who received defecation training were particularly successful in the management of constipation symptoms. In our study, it is aimed to examine the effectiveness of exercise interventions for constipation. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted on the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation-based education and exercise program in patients with constipation. It is thought that the management of patients with constipation with telerehabilitation will ease the burden on the health system, while it will save the patient cost and time, and will facilitate the access to treatment for patients living in geographically disadvantaged areas. In addition, it is important for patients to participate in distance rehabilitation studies in their professional and social lives, as it is an innovative treatment approach. It is thought that the exercises for constipation applied in addition to the training program may be a more effective method in improving the quality of life and colonic motility of the patients.
Experimental research design with two-group repeated-measure design. Experimental group was pressing the Hegu (LI 4), Zusanli (ST 36) , Tianshu(ST 25) and abdominal massage for eight minutes total, press once in the morning and afternoon, seven days total and two days for follow the trail. Control group was pressing sham ponits. Research tools to self semi-structured questionnaire collected data on patient's diet, activity, medication, defecation patterns, subjective defecation feelingauscultation bowel sounds like.
The purpose of this study is to compare the diagnostic yield with endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in hirschsprung's disease versus that of standard rectal suction biopsy. In order to compare EMR versus rectal suction biopsy, patients' diagnostic specimens will be analyzed by tissue size, the presence of submucosal tissue, and positive acteylcholinesterase staining. Additionally, the proportion of patients who would have required subsequent full thickness surgical biopsy with each technique will be compared. Biopsy results will be compared with clinical data including history, Bristol stool scale, anorectal manometry results and SITZ markers studies. Finally, the estimated costs that would have been incurred with each method will be evaluated.
