About this trial

This is an interventional other trial for Gastrointestinal Diseases

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria

  • Rome IV criteria for functional nausea and vomiting disorders (chronic nausea vomiting syndrome, cyclic vomiting syndrome), abdominal bloating/distention, dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic abdominal pain, functional diarrhea, or chronic constipation.
  • On 1 or more medications identified in Appendix 1 on a daily basis for at least six months.
  • Symptoms of moderate or severe severity on either of these 2 instruments: For IBS-SSS, use moderate (175-300) or severe (> 300) IBS. For FD - Score ≥ 3 for any symptom on Nepean Dyspepsia Index.
  • No prior pharmacogenomics assessment.
  • Willingness to adjust medications based upon results of PGX testing.
  • Patients must understand and provide written informed consent and HIPAA authorization prior to initiation of any study-specific procedures.
  • Patients must have the ability to complete questionnaires by themselves or with assistance.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who decline to be evaluated by a mental health professional during their evaluation.
  • Rumination syndrome, cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, patients with a significant GI disease process (e.g., intestinal pseudo-obstruction, severe gastroparesis, megacolon) which, in the opinion of the investigator, is likely irreversible.
  • Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, are likely to undergo another major therapeutic intervention during the next 6 months (e.g., surgery or pelvic floor retraining by biofeedback therapy). However, other changes (e.g., medications) will not preclude participation in the study.
  • Patients with any of the following per history, and review of medical record prior to study entry: any psychotic disorders, bipolar disorders, or major cognitive disorders; any active substance use disorders, other than tobacco; currently active suicidal ideation; current treatment with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS); discharge from a psychiatric inpatient hospital or intensive psychiatric outpatient program within 6 weeks prior to GI consultation.
  • Patients who are unwilling or cannot, for any reason, adjust their medications.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of subjects to have clinical management changes based on PGx results
Number of subjects that pharmacogenomic (PGx) results guided the clinical management of gastrointestinal disorders
Change in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) severity
Measured using the self-reported IBS severity scoring system (IBS-SSS) Questionnaire; 500 point continuous scale: 0= no symptoms to 500=maximum severity
Change in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality of Life
Measured using the self-reported Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality of Life (IBS-QOL) survey; score ranges from 0 (poor QOL) to 100 (maximum QOL)
Change in symptom severity with dyspepsia
Measured using the self-reported Nepean Dyspepsia Index (NDI) questionnaire which consists of a symptom checklist that measures frequency (0-4), intensity (0-5) and bothersomeness (0-4) of 15 upper gastrointestinal symptoms. The average score for each symptom is derived by averaging scores for frequency, intensity, and bothersomeness. Scores of 3 respectively represent a frequency of 9 to 12 days/week, moderate intensity, and a bothersomeness of "quite a bit".

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in anxiety
Measured using the self-reported Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire; score range 0-21 points, higher scores indicate worse symptoms
Change in Patient Health Questionnaire Score
Measured using the self-reported Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9); score range 0-27 points, higher scores indicate worse symptoms
Change in general well-being
Measured using the self-reported Global Wellbeing Likert scale; subjects asked to rate their general health perception on a scale range of 1=Excellent, 2=Very Good, 3=Good, 4=Fair, 5=Poor
Change in Pain score
Measured using the self-reported McGill Pain score; score range 0-78; higher scores indicate worse pain

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Researchers are trying to learn more about how individuals break down and process specific medications based on their genes. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is a new, specialized field within individualized medicine. PGx is the study of how genes may affect the body's response to, and interaction with, some prescription medications. Genes carry information that determines things such as eye color and blood type. Genes can also influence how individuals process and respond to medications. Depending on genetic make-up, some medications may work faster or slower or produce fewer side effects.
