Probiotic Supplementation Among Adults With Recurrent Gastrointestinal Symptoms

Gastrointestinal SymptomsBloating4 more

Participants experiencing recurrent gastrointestinal symptoms in this double-blind, randomized, controlled trial will receive either a commercially-available probiotic dietary supplement or placebo. The investigators hypothesize that participants in the probiotic dietary supplement group will experience greater improvement in their gastrointestinal symptoms than participants in the placebo group.

Pepsin in Patients With Functional Dyspepsia

Functional Gastrointestinal DisordersAbdominal Pain4 more

This non-interventional, observational study investigates the course of symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia under treatment with a fixed combination of pepsin and amino acid hydrochloride over a period of approximately 6 weeks. The change of the Gastrointestinal Symptom Score (GIS©) was the primary parameter for the assessment of efficacy and was performed at baseline, after 3 and 6 weeks of treatment respectively. Safety measures included recording of AEs and physical examination as well as measurement of vital signs. The aim was to observe 100 patients during the course of this non-interventional study.

Effectiveness of Prokinetic Agents in Improving Abdominal Discomfort at Colonoscopy

Abdominal Pain

colonoscopy has been a preferred modality for colorectal screening which efficiently reduce in morbidity and mortality of the disaese. Although colonoscopy is a safe procedure, some patients may be suffered from major and minor complications. Abdominal discomfort (approximately 30%) usually persisted for 2 days after colonoscopy. These unsatisfactory experiences might affect the patients' willingness to return for a repeat colonoscopy, which the loss of adherence eventually reduce the effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening and surveillance. Furthermore, during colonoscopy preparation, the patients are required to take large volume Polyethylene glycol-electrolyte lavage (PEG-EL) solution for bowel preparation which possibly lead to unpleasant gastrointestinal symptoms likewise. Prokinetic agents are a class of drugs that promoted gastrointestinal motility and, thereby, decrease transit time. This stimulatory effect was considered clinically relevant to the management of disorders characterized by impaired motility, such as gastro-esophageal reflux, gastroparesis, intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and colonic inertia. Prokinetic agents have various mechanism such as Cholinergic agonists, Dopamine antagonists (i.e.Domperidone, Metoclopramide), Serotonergic agonists (i.e. Cisapride, Prucalopride,Mosapride). Interestingly, these drugs have been used to minimize the unpleasant abdominal symptoms from colonoscopy. The objective of this study is to examine the efficacy of a prokinetic agent in alleviating abdominal discomfort during the period of colonoscopy preparation and aftercolonoscopy consecutively.

An Investigation of the Association Between Helicobacter Pylori Infection and Abdominal Pain in...

Cystic FibrosisAbdominal Pain1 more

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal autosomal recessive disease among Caucasians. While the pulmonary disease in CF receives most of the attention, gastrointestinal diseases occur in >95% of CF individuals and can contribute to significant morbidity, mortality and a decreased quality of life. The abdominal pain in CF is usual chronic in nature, and the etiology is not usually found, despite medical testing for standard causes of abdominal pain. Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is increasingly being recognized as the etiology of peptic ulcer disease and other upper and lower gastrointestinal tract diseases.1 The role that Hp plays in CF abdominal pain has not been elucidated. Our long-term goal is to understand relationship between chronic HP infection and abdominal pain in pediatric CF patients. The specific objective of this proposal is to utilize current state-of-the-art testing for HP to determine the prevalence of Hp in our CF patients age 5 and older. The central hypothesis is that Cystic fibrosis subjects with significant abdominal pain will have an increased incidence of Helicobacter pylori as determined by the urea breath test and stool antigen test. The rationale for the proposed research is that once we elucidate a causal relationship between CF patients with abdominal pain and Hp, we can begin treatment of this infection to improve quality of life.

Brain Mechanisms of Attention and Pain in Youth With FAPD

Functional Abdominal Pain Syndrome

The objectives of this study are to identify neural mechanisms of increased pain in pediatric FAPD and examine mechanisms of disrupted attention in the presence of induced pain. The overarching goal is to determine whether youth with FAPD process pain differently than healthy youth and to identify the brain areas involved.

Study Assessing Risk Factors for Abdominal Pain in Children With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

To characterize persistent abdominal pain in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by examining factors such as disease type, activity and location, psychosocial factors, and genetics. The investigators hypothesize that by using patient pain and psychological assessments in addition to analysis of blood, stool and colonic biopsies, we can better characterize factors that predispose children and adolescents with IBD to have persistent and/or disproportionate abdominal pain.
