Trial summary

Compliance is the biggest challenge in patients with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) on Home Parenteral Nutrition. These patients need to hydrate themselves to meet the excess fluid loss due to their anatomy. Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) is prescribed to all these patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Different Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) in Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) Patients on Home Parenteral Nutrition (HPN): A Prospective Double-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial.

Compliance is the biggest challenge in patients with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) on Home Parenteral Nutrition. These patients need to hydrate themselves to meet the excess fluid loss due to their anatomy. Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) is prescribed to all these patients. The investigators believe that taste of the standard ORS is the biggest reason why these patients are not complaint. The new ORS in the market has been prepared with this in mind. The investigators want to study if this new ORS will improve the compliance in this patient cohort.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • WHO ORSDietary supplement

    Also called World Health Organization ORS

    Participants will be randomized into one of the two groups. They will be provided with one of the two ORS solutions. Then, they will be followed for 6 months.

  • Commercial ORSDietary supplement

    Also called Dripdrop

    Participants will be instructed to dilute contents of the provided ORS to a 1 liter bottle and sip all day.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients who will regularly take Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) when the newly available ORS is compared to the World Health Organisation ORS.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in the electrolytes in subjects using the commercial ORS versus the WHO ORS

    Measured: Baseline to 6 months
