Active clinical trials for "Irritable Bowel Syndrome"

This study was designed as a pilot, open-labelled study. We enrolled consecutive IBS-M patients (n=25, 19 females, 46.06 ± 13.11 years) according to Rome IV criteria. Fecal samples were obtained from all patients twice (pre- and post-intervention) and high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing was performed. Patients were divided into two groups based on age, gender and microbiome matched. Six weeks of AI-based microbiome diet (n=14) for group 1 and standard IBS diet (Control group, n=11) for group 2 were followed. AI-based diet was designed based on optimizing a personalized nutritional strategy by an algorithm regarding individual gut microbiome features. An algorithm assessing an IBS index score using microbiome composition attempted to design the optimized diets based on modulating microbiome towards the healthy scores. Baseline and post-intervention IBS-SSS (symptom severity scale) scores and fecal microbiome analyses were compared.

52 adult IBS patients were recruited. 50% were given a fecal microbiota transplantation in colonoscopy and 50% were given an FMT made of their own feces as placebo. follow up time was 1 year after FMT.

This is a randomized pilot study to characterize engraftment of a donor's microflora onto patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with diarrhea following fecal microbiota transplantation.

The purpose of this study is to to assess if the new diet with a low-FODMAP(Fermented Oligo-, Di-, Monosaccharides And Polyols) -content yields a milder symptom picture in IBS patients compared to traditionally dietary advice in IBS. The study also aim to investigate patients compliance to either dietary advices. Further, the investigators aim to find out if IBS patients with different symptoms are alleviated in different ways, to be able to individualize the dietary advices to result in a more optimal symptom relief in each patient in the future.

This is a multi-center, Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study of RDX5791 in subjects with IBS-C. Patients who are 18 to 75 years old, meeting the definition of IBS-C as defined by the Rome III Criteria for the Diagnosis of IBS will undergo a battery of screening procedures to determine eligibility for the trial. The study will consist of a 2-week treatment-free screening period, a 4-week blinded treatment period, and a 2-week treatment-free follow-up period.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if low-FODMAP (Fermented Oligo-, Di-, Monosaccharides And Polyols) rye bread is better tolerated in irritable bowel syndrome than commonly available traditional rye bread higher in FODMAP carbohydrates. The study also aims to investigate patients' compliance to rye bread regimen, potential changes is gut microbiota and hydrogen production during the test periods (a marker of large bowel fermentation of poorly absorbed carbohydrates).

The purpose of this study is to Evaluate the Optimal Dosage of Mosapride (Medirac) and Probitics in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Without Predominant Diarrhea.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal illness of unknown cause whose symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating and altered bowel pattern. Diet has been shown to influence the bacteria gut interaction. Our aim is to determine if components of the diet affect IBS symptoms by changing the bacteria gut interaction. In particular, we will measure whether after being on a diet high or low on certain factors there is a change in the timing and amount of hydrogen and methane produced by bacteria digesting lactulose and on IBS symptom severity.

The purpose of this research study is to determine how Lubiprostone, a medication used to treat irritable bowel syndrome with constipation predominant symptoms (IBS-C), works to reduce clinical pain. Lubiprostone acts in the small intestine to cause an increase in the secretion of chloride, water and sodium. The increased fluid causes food residue to move through the bowel more quickly and makes the stools softer. First, we want to test the idea that Lubiprostone works by making a person less sensitive to pain. Second, we want to confirm that Lubiprostone decreases the time it takes fecal matter to travel through your GI tract, referred to as transit time.

The study hypothesis is that the naturally occurring bile acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, induces acceleration of colonic transit in health and in patients with constipation-predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-C).
