Active clinical trials for "Constipation"

A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of TD-1211 in Subjects with Opioid-Induced Constipation

The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of oxycodone/naloxone (OXN) for the management of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) compared to oxycodone controlled-release tablets (OXY) in subjects with moderate to severe low back pain and OIC who require around-the-clock opioid therapy.

The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of oxycodone/naloxone controlled-release tablets (OXN) for the management of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) compared with oxycodone controlled-release tablets (OXY) in subjects with moderate to severe low back pain and opioid-induced constipation who require around-the-clock opioid therapy.

The primary research objective is to demonstrate that subjects taking OXN PR have improvement in symptoms of constipation as measured by the Bowel Function Index (BFI) compared to subjects taking OxyPR tablets alone with cancer and non-cancer related pain without reducing the effectiveness of pain relief as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI).

The investigators hypothesize that the symptoms of chronic constipation in some patients are developed due to diminished production and secretion of the alimentary tract mucus resulting in poor lubrication. Therefore, the investigators assume that administration of lubiprostone may restore this lubrication impairment by stimulation of mucus production and secretion within the gastrointestinal tract.

This phase 2, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of three dose levels of AZD1722 in subjects with constipation predominant IBS (IBS-C) as defined by the ROME III criteria and who have active disease as determined during a two-week screening period. Subjects who qualify and are randomized into the study will receive 5, 20, or 50 mg of AZD1722 BID or placebo BID for 12 consecutive weeks. At the end of this treatment period, subjects will be followed for an additional 4 weeks.

Pilot study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the combined treatment of bisacodyl and simeticone compared with the efficacy and tolerability of the single products in patients suffering from constipation and bloatedness

This trial will study the effects of an investigational (not FDA approved) medication, ROSE-010, on the movement of food through the stomach, small intestine and colon in females with constipation predominant irritable bowel syndrome (C-IBS). The study hypothesis is that ROSE-010 will delay gastric emptying of solids and enhances gastric accommodation without retarding colonic transit in female patients with C-IBS.

Functional constipation (FC) is a common complaint in clinical practice, but treatment for this condition in conventional medicine is suboptimal. Complementary and alternative medicines, especially Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) are used frequently by patients, however, there is little research evidence about these commonly used CHM. The purpose of the study is evaluate the efficacy and safety of an ancient CHM formula, MaZiRenWan (MZRW), by comparing with placebo.

The purpose of the study is to compare the therapeutic efficacy, safety, cost-effectiveness and maintenance effect between Chinese herbal formula and lactulose on chronic constipation in long-term care.
