Abdominal pain remains the most deleterious symptom for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and is causing a significant alteration of their quality of life. The visceral hypersensitivity seems to be one of the key mechanisms that could explain the abdominal pain in these patients. Current treatments, mainly symptomatic, are of limited effectiveness, especially in terms of relief of abdominal pain. The study will aim to evaluate the effectiveness of ethosuximide on abdominal pain in patients with IBS, its tolerance and its impact on patient quality of life, severity of symptoms related to IBS and the use of analgesics / antispasmodic / regulators transit.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common disease to which there is no curable treatment. Diet is considered to trigger symptoms associated with the clinical picture of IBS, and dietary treatment is thus believed to relieve the symptoms of IBS. As the disease is very heterogeneous in its manifestation, different treatment options might be indicated depending on the predominant symptom. To investigate the response to different dietary treatment options, a randomized controlled intervention trial will be carried out in adult patients (>18 y) with IBS according to Rome IV criteria. The aim of this study is to compare the response to two different dietary treatments or optimized medical treatment.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of eluxadoline 100 milligrams (mg) twice a day (BID) versus placebo for the treatment of patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D) who report that the use of loperamide in the prior 12 months failed to provide control of their IBS-D symptoms.
The primary objective of this study is to estimate the overall prevalence of IBS medically diagnosed and diagnosed using Rome III or IV criteria in GI adult outpatients in China.
The aim of the present study is to assess the efficacy of two different probiotic products, lacto-fermented sauerkraut and the supplement Mutaflor, in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.
The Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is defined by a combination of abdominal pain, bowel dysfunction during recurrent periods of shorter or longer duration. The absence of well-defined pathophysiological marker requires a clinical definition. The most used are the Rome criteria III whose version was published in 2006 and version IV under development. An epidemiological study conducted in 2003 in Europe in 8 countries with over 42 000 people, found on the basis of questionnaires a prevalence of 11.5% with a diagnosis of IBS of 4.8%.in the total population; the results of this study were comparable to data obtained in the USA. A French work of our team at 35 447 healthy adults found a 6.2% frequency. In all these studies, there is a very large predominance of women (sex ratio near 2), with a preponderance of subjects of the age group 40-50 years. IBS economic weight is high, partly due to costs directly incurred by the IBS and the costs generated by associated diseases: number of visits to the general practitioner, to the specialist, the prescription and realization of complementary examinations, hospitalization, purchase drugs and work stoppage. From a pathophysiologic perspective, IBS is now considered as a multifactorial disease involving varying degrees, depending on the individual variables, visceral hypersensitivity, disturbances of digestive motility, impaired sensorimotor way communications between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system, intestinal micro-inflammation. Hypothesis of this search is that the osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) will improve the symptomatology of IBS in patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders.
Many patients with endometriosis experience extra genital and abdominal symptoms as a major part of their problem. This includes gastrointestinal dysfunction with pain, urinary symptoms compatible with interstitial cystitis and gastrointestinal symptoms resembling the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Such problems may be secondary to changes in autonomous neuronal structure and function elicited by the endometriotic elements, which may cause a "visceral syndrome" with the above mentioned symptoms. The investigators hypothesize that dietary treatment will improve the experience of gastrointestinal symptoms, pain and quality of life in patients with endometriosis-related irritable bowel syndrome. The aim of this first randomized, placebo controlled pilot study investigating patients with both endometriosis and IBS, is to test the application of a low FODMAP diet and a placebo diet for endometriosis-related IBS-like symptoms in order to stablish a platform for a randomized controlled study. Thus, the primary aim of this pilot study is to investigate the applicability of a placebo diet in patients with endometriosis and to investigate the compliance in both intervention group and control group. In addition, the aim is to investigate whether the participants find the diet manageable and whether they are able to identify the placebo diet.
IBS is a global disease, patients often because of long-term symptoms of recurrent, not timely diagnosis and treatment effect is not ideal and frequent treatment, seriously affect the quality of life, and cause the corresponding economic and social burden.At present，a number of studies suggest that fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) can induce IBS symptoms.Data from large randomized controlled trials are limited, leaving clinicians with the challenge of providing patients with reliable guidance based on minimal evidence.
The proposed study will primarily demonstrate the efficacy of kiwifruit as a food intervention for the relief of constipation and associated symptoms in functionally constipated adults, and those with IBS-C. Secondary measures will show the consumption of kiwifruit will result in improvements in gastro-intestinal discomfort levels of adults with IBS-C.
