Active clinical trials for "Constipation"

Multi-centre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel group study.

Randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind study. 203 subjects entered the study to compare the effect on occasional constipation of polyethylene glycol 3350 to placebo. Subjects took one of study treatments up to 7 days.

We are doing this study to see if using an over the counter mild laxative, SennaS, there is a difference in time required to have a bowel movement in women who are having surgery for prolapse (when your uterus and/or vagina drop after childbirth or with age) and/or incontinence (when you leak urine or stool without your control) as compared to a sugar pill or placebo.

The aim of the study is to show that new polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution without electrolytes is as effective in the treatment of constipation as PEG solution with electrolytes in the elderly institutionalized people. Also, the tolerability and the safety of the study drug will be examined.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety profile of 4 mg prucalopride in the treatment of chronic constipation.

To evaluate the patient acceptance of a new PEG3350 dose formulation in children currently treated with PEG3350 powder for treatment of constipation.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and dose-response relationship of N-methylnaltrexone bromide (MOA-728) by observing spontaneous bowel movements in subjects administered MOA-728 who have chronic pain that is not due to cancer, and who have opioid-induced bowel dysfunction (OIBD).

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of prucalopride to placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial) in treatment of participants with chronic (very serious, life threatening) constipation (decreased number of or difficulty making bowel [the intestine] movements).

To evaluate the efficacy of prucalopride compared to placebo for the treatment of functional constipation in a paediatric population, aged ≥ 6 months to < 18 years. A 16-week open-label comparator (PEG) controlled part will follow, to document safety and tolerability up to 24 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of massage based on the tensegrity rule and classical abdominal massage in persons with constipation.
