Assessment of Responsiveness to Treatment by Experience Sampling Method
Constipation-predominant Irritable Bowel SyndromeReliable evaluation of symptoms and their improvement during treatment is crucial in both diagnosing and evaluating response to treatment in IBS. Currently used end-of-day evaluations are considered sub-optimal and the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) was proposed previously as a more accurate symptom assessment method. Aim of this study is to evaluate the responsiveness of the developed ESM-PROM in assessing changes in abdominal pain and stool frequency after linaclotide treatment of IBS-C patients.
Study of Performance of Confocal Endomicroscope With Fluorescein Imaging Agent in the Colon
Colonic DysplasiaAdenomatous Polyps1 moreThe overall aim of this research project is to evaluate the imaging performance of a confocal endomicroscope. Fluorescein, an FDA-approved topical fluorescent dye, will be used to provide topical mucosal contrast. The purpose of this instrument is to provide real-time endoscopic "histology" to guide endoscopic biopsy or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in the patient study group. This endomicroscope probe will be used during colonoscopies in subjects with colonic dysplasia, known colonic adenomatous polyps scheduled for endoscopic resection, or suspected dysplasia in subjects with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
Butyrate in Children With IBS: Double Blind Placebo Controlled Randomized Clinical Trial
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)Children1 moreWe will perform a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to establish whether calcium butyrate relieves symptoms in children with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The direct effects of butyrate on inflammation and GI symptoms will be studied in children with IBS. The design used to study the effects of calcium butyrate will be a double blind randomized placebo-controlled parallel design.
