Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Changkang granule as compared to placebo over a 8-week treatment period and explore TCM syndrome types.
To clarify the changes of intestinal flora - gut - brain axis in FGIDs patients represented by NERD disharmony of liver and stomach and IBS-D disharmony of liver and spleen, and confirm that the imbalance between intestinal flora and host co-metabolism is the key to the pathogenesis of functional gastrointestinal disease. To reveal the common mechanism of regulating liver and spleen (stomach) in treating FGIDs dynamic disorder and visceral hypersensitivity by regulating intestinal flora - intestine - brain axis disorder.
This is a prospective, double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled pilot study evaluating the efficacy of percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation for the treatment of adult patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
In this study, a 14-week, single blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial will be conducted to determine whether acupuncture could have significant benefits than sham acupuncture for IBS.
Tertiary care IBS patients will be recruited for a prospective low FODMAP intervention study, hereby focusing on the reintroduction phase of the diet, where patients are blindly challenged with different FODMAP groups administered as powder, to be added to the strict FODMAP exclusion phase. During the screening phase of two weeks, baseline data regarding psychological, nutritional, microbial, and genetics will be collected. Predictors of treatment response (a 50-point drop on the IBS-severity scoring system (IBS-SSS) during the strict FODMAP exclusion phase of 6 weeks) will be studied with linear mixed models.
Most patients suffering from the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) report that ingestion of certain foods is a major trigger of symptoms, but the reason is unclear. Previous studies have shown that foods containing poorly absorbed carbohydrates (FODMAPs) are fermented by the bacteria in our bowels and these cause symptoms in some but not all patients. Gut bacteria are capable of producing various products, such as neuroimmune mediator histamine, that may be related to IBS symptoms. Our recent data suggest that consumption of FODMAPs promotes production of bacterial histamine. The main objective of this study is to investigate bacterial production of histamine and its relationship to IBS symptoms. The study will involve 6 weeks on a low-FODMAP diet with three three-day interventions consisting of High- or Low-FODMAP drinks along with probiotics or placebo capsules. The patient's bacteria and metabolites will be analyzed at various time points.
Are you what you eat? How can dietary components influence microbial composition of the gut and function of the peripheral and central nervous system? The gut and brain is linked through complex mechanisms of sensorimotor functions of the immune system, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-axis, the enteric nervous system and microbiota. In this project, a multitude of factors contributing to the bidirectional neurobiological communication along the brain-but-axis will be investigated. No disease of the brain-gut axis has been elucidated, therefore our investigations involves approaching a large span of components and processes involved in the axis. This study is carried out as a case-report study (baseline, IBS n=100, healthy controls n=40) followed by a dietary intervention (IBS-D n=60). Through multivariate analyses, the investigators will identify patterns of factors contributing to patient symptomatology and pathology, followed by big data analysis leading to stratification of sub-classification of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The trial aims to examine the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of refractory irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The investigators will include 170 participants to receive acupuncture plus usual care or sham acupuncture plus usual care. Twelve sessions of acupuncture will be delivered to participants over a period of 4 weeks. The primary outcome is defined as proportion of participants with adequate relief of global IBS symptoms at week 8, which is defined as >50% reduction in IBS-SSS scale.
