Filter by:The purpose of this study was to construct a Stigma intervention program for college students with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) based on the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) theory and to investigate the effectiveness in reducing stigma in IBS patients with the aim of enhancing their mental health and improving their quality of life.
This is a randomized controlled trial to explore the efficacy of antibiotic pretreatment on the efficacy of WMT in the treatment of Irritable bowel syndrome in adults: a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study
The objective of this protocol is to evaluate the efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) using oral capsules containing frozen stools vs sham FMT on IBS severity score at 12 weeks in patients with severe irritable bowel syndrome refractory to conventional treatments.
Evaluation of the effects of butyrate ( BitirBioma) and palmitoylethanolamide( PEA=PeaBioma) on intestinal permeability and gut microbiota composition in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Study B/P 3_1 is an interventional study involving the use of food supplements on the market (BitirBioma Plus and PeaBioma Plus), single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, randomized, in n=50 patients with bowel syndrome irritable, diarrheal and mixed variant (IBS-D and IBS-M), lasting for one year. The study has two arms: Group 1: n=25 Treatment A e Group 2: n=25 Treatment B (with - Treatment A: 3 capsules/day of butyrate (625 mg) + 3 capsules/day PEA (200 mg) at a ratio of dosage of 3/1 - Treatment B: Placebo (3+3/day capsules of starch). Eligible subjects with IBS will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to treatment A or treatment B for six weeks. After the first treatment period, there is a 14-day washout period. Hence, individuals will be treated with B/A treatment for additional six weeks, according to the crossover design. In the two treatment periods, subjects will be required to complete a visual analogue score VAS questionnaire to assess gastrointestinal symptoms and Stool Bristol Scales. During the visit, the subjects will have to record Questionnaire Rome IV to evaluate their quality of life. At the same time, it will be theirs required to provide: - fecal sample for the evaluation of the composition of fecal microbiota (Biomaplan Kit) - a urine sample for the evaluation of intestinal permeability (Gastropack) a capillary blood sample and a serum sample for the detection of Zonulin (Kit Healthy gut and Immundiagnostik AG ) - a capillary blood sample and a serum sample for the detection of Zonulin (Kit Healthy gut and Immundiagnostik AG )
Colonoscopy is the current standard method for evaluation of colonic disorders such as colorectal cancer, IBD, polyps, and other conditions.
This open-label study investigates the effects of lecithin-based formulations of Curcuma longa (Meriva™) and Boswellia serrata (Casperome™) extracts on post-acute COVID-19 irritable bowel syndrome (PCIBS) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) without prior COVID-19 infection. A total of 44 participants, 16 with PCIBS and 28 controls with IBS, were supplemented for 30 days. Outcomes measured included abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, enteral dysbiosis, and global assessment of efficacy. The study found significant reductions in bloating and pain in both groups, with a notable decrease in dysbiosis only in the IBS group. This suggests potential benefits of the supplementation in managing gastrointestinal symptoms associated with PCIBS and IBS.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a highly prevalent functional pathology which currently has no real standardized and effective therapy, despite having a significant impact on quality of life and on social-health costs. Post-biotics have demonstrated in various in vitro and in vivo studies the ability to modulate the microbiota, the intestinal barrier function, the immune response as well as having systemic effects, with prospects for good efficacy in treatment of IBS.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of different dietary treatments on intestinal integrity in female subjects aged 19-50 years previously diagnosed with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). At the Gülhane Training and Research Hospital's gastroenterology clinic in Ankara, Turkey, a randomized controlled experiment was carried out. 60 individuals with IBS were randomly divided into three groups. Group 1 was assigned to a regular constipation diet, group 2 to a constipation diet rich in soluble fibers, and group 3 to a constipation diet with probiotic yogurt supplementation. Every individual was monitored for eight weeks. Plasma zonulin level was used to measure intestinal integrity both before and after treatment.
Intervention: (Weeks 1-2, Visit 3-4) - Starting from the second week after the date of consent, patients with IBS will be randomized 1:1 into two groups. The first group (20 patients) will receive one week of a low FODMAP supplemented with fermented milk followed by one week of a low FODMAP content supplemented with fermented beans. The second group (20 patients) will receive a low FODMAP diet supplemented for one week with fermented beans followed by a second week of a diet with a low FODMAP diet supplemented with fermented milk. The microbiome of the patients will be evaluated after the first and second weeks along with data related to weight. After the second week, the metabolome and physical characteristics. The enrollment period will last for one year. The analysis of clinical data will be completed within one year after patient enrollment. Analysis of laboratory data will be performed in parallel.
The aim of this study is to define local immune responses in the GI tract to food antigens in IBS patients, with and without Brachyspira infection, using advanced imaging. We hypothesize that Brachyspira infection can cause IBS symptoms by inducing loss of oral tolerance to dietary antigens through development of food-specific intestinal immune reactions and subsequent development of visceral hypersensitivity. During this study, the investigators will perform either confocal laser endomiscroscopy (CLE) or colonoscopic antigen provocation test (COLAP) to test to which food items the participants react to. Furthermore, the investigators will perform rectal barostat examination and a sigmoidoscopy without laxatives. The investigators will collect biological samples and the participants will complete several questionnaires.
