Trial summary

Despite there being no clearcut advantages, one of the most common recommendations in IBS management is to increase the amount of dietary fibres. In some IBS patients fibres have a deleterious effect on pain and bloating. It has been shown that butyrate can increase colonic sensitivity in rats. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of an Enriched Butyrogenic Fibres Diet on Rectal Sensitivity in Healthy Control and IBS Patients.

Despite there being no clearcut advantages, one of the most common recommendations in IBS management is to increase the amount of dietary fibres. In some IBS patients fibres have a deleterious effect on pain and bloating. It has been shown that butyrate can increase colonic sensitivity in rats. Our purpose is to study whether butyrogenic fibres can modify rectal sensitivity and symptoms in IBS and healthy control through a modification of colonic flora.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Discomfort threshold to rectal distension

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Rectal sensitivity : first sensation and threshold for first sensation of the need to defecate.

  2. Intestinal discomfort (questionnaire)

  3. Quality of life (questionnaire)

  4. Taxonomic composition of colonic flora

  5. Functional composition of colonic flora

  6. Fermentation profile of ingested fibre

Contact Michel Dapoigny, Pr ((33) 04 73 75 05 23), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Discomfort threshold to rectal distension. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00314886, which also lists 9 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jan 2011.
