Filter by: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.
A randomized controlled trial to evaluate the short-term efficacy and long-term health economic impact of a dietary intervention compared to pharmacotherapy with a musculotropic spasmolytic agent for newly diagnosed or newly treated irritable bowel syndrome in primary care.
A high fermented, oligio-, di-, monosaccharide, and polyols (FODMAP) diet has been shown to exacerbate the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Previous literature has shown significant improvement in IBS symptoms after adherence to a low FODMAP diet (LFD); hence, LFD is a viable treatment method for IBS and IBS-like symptoms. However, adherence to the LFD has proven to be difficult with participants stating that information provided by medical practitioners is generalized and nonspecific requiring them to search for supplementary information to fit their individual needs. Notably, studies that have used a combination of online and in-person methods for treatment have shown improved adherence to the LFD. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a novel machine learning dietary mobile application (ML-App) will improve adherence to the LFD compared to a standard online dietary intervention in populations with IBS or IBS-like symptoms over a 4 week period.
The purpose of this study is to see if using a micro-current through a device called a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator) unit helps to improve functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) symptoms in children by stimulation of the vagus nerve. The study will compare two methods of stimulation to determine if there is a difference in the two methods.
In this study we would like to understand how or if a food-based supplement affects gut symptoms such as bloating, stomach cramps and irregular bowel habits. Through using a digital symptom tracking app for a few weeks, you may just learn more about exactly what is triggering your symptoms!
Two hundrad patients are randomized to either 90 g transplant, 90 g transplant twice with 1week interval into the distal small intestine via working channel of a gastroscope, or to 90 g transplant into the coecum of the colon via working channel of a colonoscope. The patients shall complete 5 questionnaires measuring symptoms, fatigue and quality of life and collect a feces sample at the baseline, and at 3, 6 and 12 months after FMT. Dysbiosis and fecal bacterial are determined by using 16S rRNA gene.
This is a 3-year prospective study too identify the role of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in patients with abdominal pain who are undergoing upper endoscopy. An endoscopic pancreatic function test (ePFT) with secretin will be performed in children undergoing routine investigative EGD. The goal of this study is to identify the role of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in patients with abdominal pain who are undergoing upper endoscopy, who otherwise would be labelled as recurrent abdominal pain (RAP).
Adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are being randomized to a yogic breathing or control condition. Participants randomized to the yogic breathing group will be asked to complete a 2-minute yogic breathing video 5 to 7 days per week at home for 4 weeks and control group participants will be asked to maintain their current activities. Participants in this group will be given access to the yogic breathing video at the end of the 4-week control period. IBS symptoms and autonomic and vascular function will be assessed at baseline and at the end of week 4 in both groups.

This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.
