Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the patient preference for a biocompatible thermosensitive solution-gel versus water or saline (liquid) enema. The thermosensitive solution-gel is comprised of poloxamer, an inactive compound that is designated as GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by FDA. It could subsequently be used as a medium for drug delivery. The poloxamer (gel) is administered to study participants in order to assess preference and proximal distribution.
This study aims to compare the effects of fentanyl and alfentanil on postprocedural cognitive function in elective endoscopy. 150 patients will be enrolled in the study. Patients meeting eligibility criteria will be randomly allocated to three groups. The patients in Group A will be given propofol and alfentanil. The patients in Group F will be given propofol and fentanyl. Group P is designated as the control group and the patients will be given propofol for sedation. Awareness, vital signs and pain will be evaluated. Side effects will be recorded. Patient and endoscopist satisfaction will be evaluated.
This study investigated the acute effect of the consumption of four different kinds of coffee (hot and cold instant coffee, cold espresso and hot filter coffee) with the same caffeine content on salivary gastrin, cortisol and alpha-amylase concentrations, on self-reported gastrointestinal symptoms and on psychometric assessments in healthy individuals.
Study to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of Buscopan® plus versus Buscopan®, paracetamol, and placebo in patients with painful gastric or intestinal spasms.
It has been shown that patients complaining of gas-related symptoms significantly improve on a diet low in fermentable residues. However, other studies suggest that some non-absorbable, fermentable meal products (prebiotics) that serve as substrate to colonic bacteria, produce beneficial effects to the host, including improvement of abdominal symptoms. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of a diet low in fermentable residues versus a diet suplemented with prebiotics on intestinal microbiota composition, microbiota activity (intestinal gas production) and digestive symptoms.
To determine if Bifidobacterium lactis HN109 improves transit time and gastrointestinal symptoms in adults with constipation.
EndoChoice's FUSE System enables a wider view range via 1-2 additional cameras (depending on the model). These optical properties are to be examined and reviewed in this trial (mainly usability and safety)
This is an open-label, parallel-group study to compare the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of IDN-6556 following a single 50 mg oral dose of IDN-6556 in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment (defined as Child-Pugh A, B, and C, respectively) and matched healthy volunteers with normal hepatic function.
The purpose of the trial is to develop a treatment protocol to be used in trials studying internet-delivered CBT for children with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID). The study size is not based on power calculations but the estimated sample necessary to develop a treatment protocol. This study will include 20-30 children with FGID and their parents who will be treated individually (face-to-face). The treatment consists of 10 weekly sessions of exposure-based CBT. The study uses a pre- post-design with no control group.
The study aims to investigate - if a 7 day therapeutic fasting regimen will affect self-efficacy of patients with chronic diseases - the effects of fasting on physical and mental well-being, quality of life and body awareness/image - the association between patients characteristics and the perceived health benefit after fasting - the association between Diagnosis according to traditional Chinese medicine and physical and mental well-being during the course of fasting - experiences and perceptions of patients during fasting therapy
