Active clinical trials for "Irritable Bowel Syndrome"

To assess the effects of a Human Milk Oligosaccharide mix given once daily for 12 weeks on stool consistency and abdominal pain compared to placebo in individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

This study will assess the long-term safety of oral Eluxadoline administered to pediatric participants with IBS-D who have completed study intervention in the Phase 2 study 3030-202-002 or the Phase 3 study 3030-303-002.

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether symptom recurrence, after successful FODMAP elimination, is dose-dependent in patients with IBS. The effect of a blinded reintroduction of FODMAP powders fructans and mannitol will be investigated in a crossover dose-escalation scheme for the identification of the eliciting dose in individual patients. The reintroduction of FODMAPs is performed after a successful elimination by the LFD.

This is an exploratory neurophysiological study that will determine the impact of non-invasive brain stimulation on autonomic regulation, with a focus on gastrointestinal function. These studies should provide a basis for future brain-based neurotherapeutic strategies in patients with functional GI disorders.

This study is a phase 2/3 open-label controlled trial (CT) in which adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and adults who have MDD plus comorbid Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome (IBS) will be assigned to either receive oral Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) or to continue with the treatment they are currently receiving in a Treatment As Usual (TAU) arm. An IBS alone group receiving TAU will be recruited as a clinical control group. The primary goals of this study are to determine effectiveness, safety and tolerability of oral FMT in adults with MDD and in MDD who have comorbid IBS. Additional goals are to characterize patterns and progressions of cognitive and neural correlates associated with MDD and with MDD + IBS and to determine if they improve with FMT. It is known that both, individuals with MDD and those with MDD and IBS show cognitive alterations as well as changes in neural structures, but this study is designed to see if those are changed with treatment response to FMT."

In the largest and most well-controlled randomized control trial of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) training in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to-date (N=325), the investigators will evaluate whether a smartphone MBI program (with attention monitoring and acceptance skills training; Monitor+Accept, MA-MBI) reduces daily life stress and IBS symptoms at post-treatment and two-month follow-up, relative to a matched MBI program with acceptance skills training removed (training in attention monitoring skills only; Monitor Only, MO-MBI) or to an active stress management training control group (Coping Control, CC). Participants will not only provide clinician and patient assessed measures of IBS symptoms at the three time points, but they will also provide sensitive experience sampling assessments (using Ecological Momentary Assessment) of their stress and symptoms in daily life at each time point. Finally, as an exploratory aim, participants will provide stool samples at baseline and post-intervention to provide the first ever test of whether MBIs can alter the gut microbiome in IBS. We will also conduct a sub-study that will include completion of a cold-water challenge performance task to test individuals' distress tolerance.

This is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-center parallel- design study to evaluate the effect of BL NCC3001 in subjects with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

This aim of this study is to evaluate the acute and mid-term effects of A2 milk versus conventional milk on gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with constipation-predominant IBS and in patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS. Moreover, the effect of immune and defense markers will be studied.

he primary objective of this study is to assess changes in stool microbiome profiles in patients after an elemental diet.

A 3-way randomised cross-over study to test the hypothesis that combining either psyllium or methylcellulose to form a gel incorporating inulin will reduce gas production as compared to inulin given with a placebo, maltodextrin. Subjects will attend on 3 separate days separated by a minimum of one week an consume one of 3 test meals. Serial breath samples with be obtained to measure hydrogen and methane over the next 24 hours. Primary endpoint: Area under curve (AUC) from time 0-6 hours (AUC 0-6) of breath hydrogen (ppm.hour) after treatment intake. We will also assess whole gut transit time using the blue muffin and correlate breath hydrogen production with in vitro fermentation results.
