Detailed Description
Patients with IBS have a higher prevalence of migraine, fibromyalgia and depression.
Donald et al. have shown that physically active elderly participants were less likely to be constipated than their less active counterparts.
On the quality of life Physical activity has also been shown to reduce mouth-to-anus transit time and among individuals with constipation, higher levels of physical activity were found to be associated with improved physical functioning and health perceptions. Similarly, other finding studies are not consistent with some small observational studies which have failed to report positive associations between exercise and constipation, reported that orocecal transit time was accelerated during mild exercise. Of some relevance to the findings reported here is a recent randomized controlled trials (RCT) that found walking to be an effective intervention for improving the degree of bowel cleansing in preparation for a colonoscopy. There is a contradiction between studies.
However, study results on acupuncture in IBS are mixed, and more larger trials are needed to fully support the claims of acupuncture in helping with IBS there's a contradiction between the studies so, the present study will be conducted to compare the effect of aerobic exercise and acupuncture on women with irritable bowel syndrome and to solve the contradiction. .

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: treadmill exercise Group
30 women will perform treadmill exercise following low food map diet three times \weak for 3 months
|
the treadmill exercises three times a week for 12 weeks) based on the Following protocol: Intensity exercise: determined by karvonen formula: Exercise heart rate = [(A-B) × desired intensity] + B [A represents maximum heart rate (220-age) and B for resting heart rate (average of three measurements)].
The desired intensity will be at 50- 70%.
Heart rate was measured by pulse-meter to detect pulse rate before exercise (Resting HR)].
|
Experimental: acupuncture Group
30 women will receive acupuncture session following low food map diet three times \ weak for 3 months.
|
the acupuncture needles will be inserted through the adhesive pads.
The acupuncture needles used in the study are 40 mm in length and 0.30 mm in diameter and manufactured by Suzhou Hwato Medical Instruments Co. Ltd (Suzhou, China).
The following acupoints will be used: DU20 (Baihui), ST36 (Zusanli), ST37 (Shangjuxu), SP6 (Sanyinjiao), ST25 (Tianshu), and LR3 (Taichong).

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Assessing the change in pain intensity
Time Frame: at baseline and after 3 months of intervention
|
By using visual anaglouge scale.
The visual analog scale (VAS) is the VAS, which consists of a line, usually 10 cm long, ranging from no pain or discomfort (zero) , to the worst pain that could possibly feel (10)
|
at baseline and after 3 months of intervention
|
Assessing the change in level of exertion during physical activity
Time Frame: at baseline and after 3 months of intervention
|
The Borg scale is a numerical scale that ranges from 6 to 20 where 6 means "no exertion at all" and 20 means "maximal exertion."
When a measurement is taken, a number is chosen from the following scale by an individual that best describes their level of exertion during physical activity.
|
at baseline and after 3 months of intervention
|
Assessing the change in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptom Severity
Time Frame: at baseline and after 3 months of intervention
|
by Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptom Severity Score (IBS- SSS).
Patients completed IBS-SSS questionnaire for assessing their eligibility for the study.
IBS-SSS questionnaire contains five questions which would measure pain severity, pain frequency, abdominal bloating, bowel habit dissatisfaction, and life interference using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
The mean score of each item ranges from 0 to 100 and the total mean score of the questionnaire ranges from 0 to 500; higher scores indicates more severe symptoms.
