What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of life assessed with the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality Of Life questionnaire (IBS-QOL).
Time Frame: Assessed at baseline and after 1 month of treatment
Change from baseline of quality of life as assessed with the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality Of Life questionnaire (IBS-QOL, scoring from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better IBS specific quality of life) in IBS patients having different subtypes of transit pattern and different level of symptom severity.
Assessed at baseline and after 1 month of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of life subscores assessed with the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality Of Life questionnaire (IBS-QOL).
Time Frame: Assessed at baseline and after 1 month of treatment
Change from baseline of quality of life subscores as assessed with the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality Of Life questionnaire (IBS-QOL, scoring from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better IBS specific quality of life) in IBS patients having different subtypes of transit pattern and different level of symptom severity.
Assessed at baseline and after 1 month of treatment
IBS Symptom Severity
Time Frame: Assessed at baseline and after 1 month of treatment
Change of IBS Symptom Severity assessed with the IBS Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS, scoring from 0 to 500, with higher scores indicating worse severity of IBS symptoms)
Assessed at baseline and after 1 month of treatment
Change of Stool consistency
Time Frame: Assessed at baseline, day10, day 20 and day 30
Change of stool consistency assessed with the Bristol stool scale. The Bristol Stool Chart classifies stool according to their shape and consistency and assigns a sample a number from 1-7 depending on its characteristics, corresponding to constipation normal or diarrhea.
Assessed at baseline, day10, day 20 and day 30
Compliance to the treatment
Time Frame: Assessed after 1 month of treatment
Compliance assessed with patient self-report on a diary
Assessed after 1 month of treatment
Patient satisfaction
Time Frame: Assessed after 1 month of treatment
Patient satisfaction with treatment assessed on a 5-point Likert scale, with proposals ranked in ascending order of satisfaction as 1- Not at all satisfied; 2- Unsatisfied; 3- Somewhat satisfied; 4-Satisfied to 5-Very satisfied
Assessed after 1 month of treatment
Patient's overall impression after treatment
Time Frame: Assessed after 1 month of treatment
The patient's overall impression of how the product has changed his or her daily activities, symptoms, and quality of life, assessed with the Patients' Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale. PGIC is a 7-point scale describing patient's rating of overall improvement. Change is rated by patients as "very much improved," "much improved," "minimally improved," "no change," "minimally worse," "much worse," or "very much worse."
Assessed after 1 month of treatment
Physician's satisfaction
Time Frame: Assessed after 1 month of treatment
Physician satisfaction with the treatment for his/her patient assessed on a 5-point Likert scale, with proposals ranked in ascending order of satisfaction as 1- Not at all satisfied; 2- Unsatisfied; 3- Somewhat satisfied; 4-Satisfied to 5-Very satisfied
