Active clinical trials for "Constipation"

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Eductyl versus placebo for treatment of patients with dyschesia treated by rectal rehabilitation.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Amitiza (lubiprostone), a drug proven to be safe and effective for chronic constipation, will also improve constipation symptoms in Parkinson's Disease patients. We will also evaluate the impact of the drug on changes in bowel movement consistency, quality of life and motor symptoms.

The primary purpose of the protocol is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of subcutaneous MOA-728 versus placebo in subjects with chronic non-malignant pain who have Opioid-Induced Constipation (OIC).

To compare the safety and efficacy of BLI-801 administered at 4 dose levels in constipated adults.

To test the effectiveness of MNTX in advanced illness subjects.

A phase III, multi-centre, double blind, placebo controlled, crossover study, followed by an open label post study follow-up, to assess the efficacy and safety of Movicol in the treatment of chronic constipation in children

This was a single centre study comprised of two stages (Parts I and II). Part II was a 12 week randomised double blind comparison of Movicol and Lactulose Dry as maintenance therapy on an out-patient basis. The aim was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Movicol in the treatment of faecal impaction in children

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, efficacy, and dose response of a range of oral doses of linaclotide administered to patients meeting criteria for IBS-C.

Chronic constipation is a prevalent, burdensome gastrointestinal disorder whose treatment remains challenging. There exist effective pharmacological therapies for chronic constipation, however, many patients do not well respond to current medications. Evidence suggests that disturbance in the gastrointestinal microbiota may be implicated in chronic constipation. Although, E.coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor®) has been used for chronic constipation, there are limited data regarding the efficacy of E.coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor®) in these patients. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy of E.coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor®) in patients with chronic constipation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral administration of lubiprostone 24 μg twice daily (BID) for 4 weeks in participants with chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) compared with placebo.
