Filter by:Background: Resilience refers to a class of variables highly relevant for wellbeing and coping with stress, trauma, and chronic adversity. Despite its significance for health, resilience is hardly examined empirically and suffers from poor conceptual integration. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder with altered psychological stress reactivity and brain-gut-microbiota axis, which causes high chronic strain. Gut-focused hypnotherapy (GHT) is a standardized treatment for IBS targeting at resilience. An increase of resilience by GHT has been hypothesized but requires further investigation. Aims of the study were construct validation and development of an integrational measure of different resilience domains by dimensional reduction, and investigation of change in resilience in IBS patients by GHT. N=74 Gastroenterology outpatients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (Rome III criteria) were examined in 7 resilience domains, quality of life, psychological distress and symptom severity. n=53 of these participate in 7 to 10 Gut-directed Hypnotherapy group sessions (Manchester protocol). Post-treatment examinations were performed 10 months after last GHT session.
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of the Food Supplement Physiomanna® Baby in pediatric patients with a history of functional constipation The secondary objective of the trial is to evaluate the adherence to product's administration in the enrolled children.
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effect on intestinal permeability of a supplementation with Lactibiane Tolérance® for 4 weeks (28 days) in patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with diarrhea predominance. Secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the effects of supplementation with Lactibiane Tolérance® for 4 weeks (28 days) in patients suffering from IBS with diarrhea predominance on intestinal permeability, inflammation of the digestive tract, symptoms and comfort. Single-center study in single open arms: 30 volunteer adults suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) with diarrhea predominance and matching the criteria of inclusion and non-inclusion listed below.
This phase 3, open label study will evaluate the safety of tenapanor 50 mg BID in subjects with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) defined by the ROME III criteria. Subjects who have completed either TEN-01-301 (16 weeks) or TEN-01-302 (26 weeks) studies may be enrolled. Subjects will take tenapanor for approximately 52-55 weeks total based on previous protocol and this study.
GSK3179106 is a potent and relatively selective inhibitor of RET kinase which has been designed to be a safe and effective therapy for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients . This is a randomized, double-blind (sponsor unblind), placebo-controlled, dose escalating, four period, single-dose crossover, first time in human study to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GSK3179106 in normal healthy subjects. The study will be composed of 2 cohorts, each having screening (21 days prior to first dose of study drug), Treatment, and follow-up periods (7-10 days after their last dose [Day 1 of dosing period 4]). The Treatment period will include 4 dosing periods. Subjects will participate in either Cohort 1 or Cohort 2. The total duration of the study for each subject will be approximately 10 weeks. A sufficient number of healthy subjects will be screened to enrol 16 subjects who complete the planned study procedures. Each dosing period will be staggered so that only 2 of the 8 subjects will be administered study drug initially. Once 24 hours (h) have elapsed, and provided there are no safety concerns, the remainder of subjects scheduled for that dosing period may be dosed. A review of safety and tolerability will occur prior to administration of the next dose level. This same procedure will be followed for each escalating dosing period. Subjects assigned to Cohort 1 will participate in 1 placebo and 3 dose escalating periods. Subjects assigned to Cohort 2 will participate in up to 4 dosing periods which include up to 2 escalating doses and placebo in Periods 1 and 2, and a pilot food effect in Periods 3 and 4. Within each cohort, subjects will return for their next scheduled dosing period approximately 14 days after administration of the study drug during the prior dosing period. Cohort 2 will proceed after completion of the treatment periods in Cohort 1. Each subject will be enrolled in only one cohort. The planned dose range is 10 milligram (mg) to 200 mg in Cohort 1. The actual doses to be administered may be adjusted based on safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic data at previous dose levels; these dose adjustments may involve either an increase or a decrease in the planned dose for both Cohorts 1 and 2. There are no formal hypotheses being tested in this study.
The proposed study aims to investigate the feasibility, effectiveness, and perceived benefit of a hatha yoga intervention for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) compared to nutrition counselling. Further, the potential of both interventions to influence the gut microbiome will be inquired.
Peppermint oil has shown to be effective in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms in several meta-analyses. However, the level of evidence is moderate and peppermint oil remains relatively under-used in IBS. Therefore, the investigators will conduct a multicenter randomized, placebo controlled trial to investigate the effects of an eight-week peppermint oil treatment in IBS patients according to current European Medicines Agency (EMA) / US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. To improve efficacy and to reduce side effects, the investigators aim to study the use of a new peppermint oil formulation, a colon-targeted-delivery capsule that will release the oil in the (ileo-) colonic region specifically.
Multi-center, open-label, long-term safety study
The purpose of this research study is to improve the understanding of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and its underlying cause. The investigators will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to observe differences in the brain between people diagnosed with IBS compared to healthy controls and people with ulcerative colitis, a disease group that has already been characterized. By doing this correlative and comparative study, the investigators hope to gain knowledge on IBS in order to keep the field moving in the right direction and becoming one step closer to discovering effective treatments.
This phase 3, 26-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of one dose of Tenapanor in subjects with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) as defined by the ROME III criteria and who have active disease as determined after a two-week screening period. Subjects who qualify and are randomized into the study will either receive 50mg BID of Tenapanor (1:1) for a 26 week treatment period.
