Filter by:To determine the efficacy of a low FODMAP diet in IBS patients and whether gut microbiota community is associated with its efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of linaclotide for the treatment of Irritable Bowel syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C), in children age 7-17 years. This study includes up to a 4-week Screening Period, and a 2 to 3-week Pretreatment Period. Patients age 7-11 will receive oral liquid or oral solid capsule and patients 12-17 will receive solid oral capsule formulation. Children ages 7-11 years meeting the entry criteria will be randomized to 1 of 3 doses of linaclotide or placebo for 4 weeks. Children ages 12-17 years meeting the entry criteria will be randomized to 1 of 4 doses of linaclotide or placebo for 4 weeks. This 4-week study will assess the effects of linaclotide on bowel movement frequency, as well as other bowel symptoms of IBS-C.
This study evaluates effect of Ficus carica and Descurainia Sophia on irritable bowel syndrome predominant constipation. one-third of patients will receive Ficus carica, another one-third will receive Descurainia Sophia and remained patients only will follow their regular diet for 4 months.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and dose response of two delayed release formulations of linaclotide (DR; DR formulation 1 is DR1; DR formulation 2 is DR2) administered orally to patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). Additional objectives include understanding how the two DR formulations compare with each other and with the FDA-approved 290 μg LINZESS® (the immediate release [IR] formulation of linaclotide).
Brain imaging has shown abnormal brain activations in response to visceral stimulation in patients with the Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Functional Dyspepsia (FD). To investigate the possible role of the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (NTS), the primary relay station in the brainstem for vagal afferents, its activation in IBS and functional dyspepsia patients will be evaluated. Prior to this, an exploratory study in healthy volunteers will be conducted. This will be the first high magnetic field fMRI study (7T) evaluating the possible role of NTS activation in visceral abdominal pain. Moreover, this will be the first pharmacological fMRI study using duodenal capsaicin infusion as a chemical stimulus, which is more physiological than mechano-stimulation in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
Visceral hypersensitivity, low grade inflammation and increased intestinal permeability are three main pathophysiological mechanisms involved in irritable bowel syndrome. The connexion between these abnormalities is not known. We hypothesis there is a link between them in IBS with diarrhoea.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common functional GI disorder in which abdominal pain and/or discomfort is associated with changes in bowel habit, and with features of disordered defecation. IBS affects 10-20% of the population and causes a marked reduction of quality of life in affected individuals.The high prevalence of IBS is accompanied by large societal economic burdens and negative effects on the quality of life in affected patients. It is divided into 3 types IBS-D diarrhea predominant, IBS-C constipation predominant, IBS-M mixed sub type.
A study of the efficacy and safety of Lubiprostone in subjects diagnosed with IBS-M/IBS-U.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy and safety of a traditional Chinese medication Tong-Xie-Yao-Fang for patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel Syndrome (IBS-D).
Longitudinal Investigation of intestinal microbiome, fecal inflammation markers, stress and psychological variables in patients with irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease undergoing gut-directed hypnotherapy (GHT).
