Filter by:The main scope of the proposed research in the framework is to investigate the effect of probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus LA3, Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis BLC1 i Lactobacillus casei BGP93 on functional constipation and on the quality of life of the elderly in a nursing home. The experimental part will consists of double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial over 12 weeks.
Introduction: Functional constipation is a symptom-based gastrointestinal disorder without an organic origin (eg, bowel obstruction). It has a prevalence of 14% in adults. Objective: The objective of trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different probiotic blends in adults subjects with functional constipation. Methods: A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study will be conducted for up to two years to evaluate the efficacy of two different probiotic mixtures: (Mixture 1) Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (3 billion CFU); (Mixture 2) Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus defensis, Bifidobacterium animallis (8 billion CFU).
This prospective, two-arm (parallel groups), double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical trial will investigate the effects of an 8-week Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 supplementation on stool frequency and on other constipation parameters in adults suffering from functional constipation according to ROME III criteria. The hypothesis is that Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 is superior, in comparison with a placebo, for the increase of stool frequency of at least 1 stool per week.
1. To determine if the adjunctive use of a Virtual Reality (VR) module on diaphragmatic breathing (DB) can improve the quality of life (QOL) and symptoms of children with functional constipation (FC) with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) who are receiving standard of care treatment. 2. To assess if a VR module on DB can decrease healthcare utilization for children with FC with PFD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose response, safety, and efficacy of linaclotide when compared with placebo in pediatric participants, 2 to 5 years of age, with Functional Constipation.
The study aims to evaluate the effects of short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides on the frequency and consistency of stools in subjects with functional constipation.
Low and High doses of Actazin and Livaux will be compared against a control formula and placebo to evaluate how each investigational study product effects complete spontaneous bowel movements in healthy adults that currently experience less than or equal to 3 complete spontaneous bowel movements per week. During the 28-day study period, it is hypothesized that participants consuming Acatzin, Livaux, or control formula will have an increased number of complete spontaneous bowel movements when compared to participants consuming the placebo. It is hypothesized that participants consuming Actazin or Livaux will respond more than participants consuming the control formula. It is hypothesized that participants consuming Actazin or Livaux will have a favorable microbiome change than placebo.
The objective of this trial is to compare the efficacy of electroacupuncture versus transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation for functional constipation
To compare the differences of fecal microflora between constipated and non-constipated healthy children, and evaluate the efficacy of probiotics in reducing symptoms of constipation and the influence of intestinal microflora in children with functional constipation.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of NGM282 on colonic transit, bile acid homeostasis, and fecal fat in subjects with functional constipation and healthy individuals.
