Filter by:This cohort study implements patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) for patients with bodily stress syndrome in a clinic for functional disorders.
The primary objective is to compare the effectiveness of the experimental Intermittent Colonic Exoperistalsis (ICE) treatment with MOWOOT, with the active control of trans-anal irrigation (TAI) as standard-of-care. The secondary objectives are to further compare the ICE treatment with MOWOOT to the TAI standard-of-care clinically and economically.
The purpose of this research is to assess if a new digital app version of a self-help intervention for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), is an acceptable and effective treatment for improving the overall quality of life in patients with IBS.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders characterized by recurrent abdominal pain associated with defecation or a change in bowel habits without any structural abnormalities. Despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of IBS has not been clearly elucidated yet. Recent studies have shown that disturbed gut microbiota may promote the development and maintenance of IBS. Significant changes in the microbial communities of healthy controls vs IBS patients have been reported in several studies. These findings promoted the research on probiotics for the treatment of IBS. Probiotics are live microorganisms which, when administered at the right dose, have a positive effect on human health. The currently published systemic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials have indicated that probiotics have beneficial clinical effects and can help to reduce global and specific IBS symptoms significantly. However, the effect depends on the specific composition of the probiotic preparation, and some meta-analyzes indicate that multi-strain preparations are more effective than single-strain preparations. Therefore, further research is highly anticipated. The purpose of the current clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of multi-strain probiotic preparation in patients with diarrhea predominant IBS (IBS-D).
The main objective of this observatory is to evaluate the effect of Bifidobacterium longum 35624 on the quality of life of IBS patients having different subtypes of transit pattern and different level of symptom severity
Study to asess the effects of Iberogast® (STW5) and Iberogast® N (STW5-II) in intestinal gas transit and abdominal symptoms of patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome or functional dyspepsia.
A Phase 1b study to determine the effect of oral olorinab on gastrointestinal transit in adult participants with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Our previous work on the use of probiotics improved the clinical symptoms in irritable bowel syndrome with constipation-predominant. This study would like to explore further use of probiotics in the immune system of the patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
Non-constipated irritable bowel syndrome is a common disorder that may be related to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 is a probiotic yeast that has proven efficacy for the treatment of acute gastroenteritis and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. However, its efficacy for the treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth has not been assessed. Hence, an exploratory randomized, open label trial comparing the efficacy and safety of Saccharomyes boulardii CNCM I-745 plus diet administration versus diet administration only for 15 days among adult patients with the aforementioned condition was conducted.
Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract diagnosed with the Rome criteria. The Rome IV criteria are based on abdominal pain symptoms and stool habits including stool frequency and stool forms [1]. They define 3 main subtypes based on symptoms: 1) IBS with diarrhea; 2) IBS with constipation: and 3) mixed symptoms of constipation and diarrhea. The IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D) subtype has the highest prevalence. Currently, treatment of IBS-D includes antidiarrheals, bile acid sequestrants, antispasmodics, tricyclic antidepressants, and FODMAP diet. However, many patients are intolerant or unresponsive to the above treatments. Outside of IBS, chronic diarrhea affects about 5% of adults. We have described a syndrome in a subset of IBS patients presenting with post prandial diarrhea, flushing and dermatographia whose symptoms are prevented by pre-treatment with combined H1 and H2 antihistamines [2]. However, the prevalence of this syndrome among the IBS + D patients is not known nor have the clinical characteristics or predictors of antihistamine responsive IBS + D been defined.
