IBS Clinical Research Trials - Participants Wanted!

Posting of current Clinical Research trials are found in this forum.

Clinical research trials are designed to test the effect of a medication or treatment in a group of volunteers, measure a drug's ability to treat the medical condition, monitor the drug's safety, and possible side effects. Trained doctors, nurses and researchers conduct clinical research studies called clinical trials. The study coordinator is in charge of the day-to-day running of the study. The principal investigator (usually a physician) has overall responsibility for carrying out the protocol. Learn more about Why you might want to consider participating in a Clinical Trial.

Are you a Recruiting site or Pharmaceutical conducting a GI clinical trial? Do you have a local or nation-wide trial that you would like added? Do not post your clinical trial without first contacting us to discuss our low cost options in order to make patients aware of your trial. Principal Investigators from a college/university or medical center are free to post your clinical trial.

    Hi everyone! I am reaching out to share a very exciting research opportunity conducted by researchers at KCL. The study is titled “Developing a new measure for medical dismissal”. The purpose of this project is to test a new questionnaire to assess experiences of being dismissed by healthcare services for people living with long-term conditions such as IBS. We want to learn more about what makes these experiences feel positive or negative, how they affect people emotionally and physically, and what could improve them in the future. We are asking people 18 years or older, in the UK, who have a diagnosis of IBS or who have experienced a symptom for a period of 6 months, a…

The study tests camlipixant, an oral drug, against placebo. The goal is to reduce bowel discomfort and improve daily life for people with IBS-D and IBS-M, offering a targeted option beyond current general symptom relief.

    A company named DigeHealth has developed a wearable device that listens to bowel acoustics, helping provide people with objective insights into what is happening in their gut in real time. The wearable is currently being used in clinical studies as they continue evaluating how objective gut data can help patients better understand digestive activity and symptom patterns. They are looking to learn directly from the IBS community to ensure they're building something that is genuinely useful for patients. To support this, they've created a short 2-minute survey. It asks questions about the day-to-day challenges of living with IBS and whether objective gut data like this woul…
