Filter by:The purpose of the study is to monitor safety and to evaluate the efficacy of a probiotic formulation on abdominal pain, abnormal defecation, comorbid mood disorders (anxiety and depression) as well as general quality of life in adults with IBS-D.
To evaluate the feasibility of an acupuncture protocol in the prevention of late diarrhea due to irinotecan in pediatric patients with solid tumors, a pre-post pilot study will be conducted. Pre-post pilot study non-randomized, open label, single arm study. There will be a single study group that will be used at the same time as your own control. The intervention will take place for approximately one year.
This study prospectively observed the complications intended as diarrhea or sti-sis that critically ill patients developed within 7 days after ICU admission. In addition, secondary aims investigated through bioimpedenziometry the loss of lean body mass and changes in phase angle during the same period of ICU stay.
This study aim to compare the efficacy of nitazoxanide in 2-week course of treatment with rifaximin in treating diarrhea associated with IBS. We also aim to study its effect over 10 weeks after treatment to evaluate its efficacy in eradicating symptoms of IBS in the long run.
This is a pilot randomized-controlled trial assessing the utility of ondansetron for improving pediatric pre-colonoscopy bowel prep outcomes using the boston bowel preparation score, as well as assessing the impact on patient experience of bowel preparation.
Rationale: Postantibiotic diarrhoea in critically ill patients is common, often prolonged and currently there is no effective treatment of it. Aim: To test safety and feasibility of faecal microbial transplantation in critically ill patients with postantibiotic diarhoea. Design: Prospective, single center, parallel group randomised controlled trial. Subjects: ICU patients (both general and burn ICU) who developed diarhea after a course of antibiotic therapy that is persistent for 24 hours and is not due to other causes. Patients with septic shock or approaching death will be excluded. Treatment in the intervention group: Faecal bacteriotherapy (FBT) delivered as enema (and repeated once in the subgroup of patients with C. dif. infection) of 350 ml of standardised mixed transplantate prepared from faeces of 7 healthy donors. Control group: Standard-of-care protocolised treatment of postantibiotic diarhea (which includes vancomycine 250 mg p.o. 6 hourly in the subgroup with C. dif. infection). Primary outcome: Percentage of patients with treatment failure at day 7 after randomisation, which is defined as treatment either not being delivered or not being effective. Secondary and exploratory outcomes: Influence of the intervention on colonic microbiome and metabolome, small bowel and colonic permeability, bacterial translocation and systemic inflammation response to procedure.
A randomized placebo controlled, phase 2 study of budesonide in subjects with multiple myeloma undergoing autologous stem cell transplant (ACST). The study includes a run-in period with 20 patients.
Patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia (FD) were examined and received treatment in the study. Severity of complaints and quality of life patients were assessed according to questionnaires. The state of the intestinal barrier (analysis of the protein composition, intestinal mucin levels in biopsies, serum zonulin level in blood), the composition of the gut microbiota (16S rRNA gene sequencing), bacterial metabolic function (short-chain fatty acid levels in feces), and the presence of gut inflammation (levels of lymphocytes and eosinophils in biopsies) were assessed in the patients. Patients were divided into 3 treatment groups: trimebutin + placebo, rebamipide + placebo, trimebutin + rebamipide. The above parameters were compared in patients before and after treatment.
This randomized trial in rural Bangladesh will measure whether installing concrete floors in households with soil floors reduces child enteric infection. The trial will randomize eligible households to receive concrete household floors or to no intervention and measure effects on child soil-transmitted helminth infection, diarrhea, and other enteric infections. The study will collect longitudinal follow-up measurements at birth and when children are ages 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.
Non-erosive reflux disease（NERD）and Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome（IBS-D）are both the common refractory gastrointestinal diseases. Patients, who suffered from overlapping symptoms of NERD and IBS-D, present more serious symptom manifestation, anxiety, and worse life quality than those with solely disease. There is lack of effective treatment for overlapping gastrointestinal symptoms. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and treatment has the advantages of overall regulation and individualized treatment, but lack of high-level evidence. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of WPQW granule for the treatment of NERD overlapping IBS-D.
