Clinical Trial Summary

The study aim is to investigate the Bio-electrical Impedance (BIA) parameters in general, and phase angle (PhA) in particular in Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients and to compare these with values from healthy controls, while assessing the relationship with other confounding parameters in IBS: psychological parameters, physical activity, dietary pattern (with special interest in FODMAP intake). In a second phase, the evolution of the BIA parameters will be analyzed according to response to therapy.


Clinical Trial Description

The role and significance of bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) has not been studied in IBS. Therefore, The investigators designed this exploratory study to assess its potential role in the diagnosis and follow-up of treatment in IBS. The study aim is to investigate the BIA parameters in general, and PhA in particular in IBS patients and to compare these with values from healthy controls, while assessing the relationship with other confounding parameters in IBS: psychological parameters, physical activity, dietary pattern (with special interest in FODMAP intake). In a second phase, the evolution of the BIA parameters will be analyzed according to response to therapy. The primary objective is to compare the BIA parameters including PhA between IBS and healthy individuals. ;
