About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Dietary Supplementation of Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to Improve Symptoms in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome

This project is a single center, randomized, controlled clinical trial evaluating the effects of DAO enzyme dietary supplement on symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.

These participants are randomized to either a 4-week group with DAO enzyme dietary supplement or placebo. The participants are required to fill out IBS-SSS and IBS-QOL questionnaires and record their IBS symptom improvement, IBS treatment drug use, compliance and adverse reactions every evening. At the same time, the patients' diet is continuously recorded for 3 days by 24-hour diet review method in Visit 0, Visit 1 and Visit 2, respectively, to inform the patients to avoid large fluctuations in diet structure. On days 0, 14 and 28, the subjects are asked to visit the hospital offline. The staff check with the subjects in detail according to the scale and questionnaire contents, and review the general situation and questionnaire in the previous 2 weeks. On the 7th and 21st day, the staff contact the subjects online to provide guidance and remind the subjects to fill in the scale and questionnaire. In addition, oral mucosal samples, urine and feces will be collected for identifying mutations in the genetic DAO enzyme coding gene, histamine detection and 16sRNA sequencing, respectively.

What is being measured

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

  1. IBS-SSS

    The effects of DAO enzyme dietary supplement from dehydrated pea seedling powder on IBS symptoms were evaluated by the Severity Scale of irritable bowel Syndrome (IBS-SSS) and the changes of several independent symptoms.

    Measured: 4 weeks of study medication administration

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. IBS-QOL

    The overall improvement of quality of life in IBS patients with DAO enzyme dietary supplement from dehydrated pea seedling powder was evaluated by the irritable bowel Syndrome Quality of Life Questionnaire (IBS-QOL).

    Measured: 4 weeks of study medication administration

  2. Improvement of symptoms listed in the Rome IV diagnostic criteria for IBS

    1. Number of days with abdominal pain in the past week;
    2. Number of days of defecation-related abdominal pain in the past week;
    3. Frequency of bowel movements;
    4. Changes in stool pattern according to the Bristol stool Classification Scale.

    Measured: 4 weeks of study medication administration
