Digital Treatment of Irritabel Bowel Syndrome (IBS) (DIGIBS)
October 31, 2023 updated by: Haukeland University Hospital
A Randomized Controlled Digital Intervention Study to Assess the Effect of Internet Delivered Interventions, the Low FODMAP-diet, Behavioral Therapy or Both, Compared to Patient Education, on Measures of Gastrointestinal Symptom Relief and Quality of Life in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome
The aim of this work is to identify whether the digital treatment program Mage-tarmskolen has an effect on patients with IBS.
Our secondary objectives is to address multiple aspects of digital treamtent success of the different modules.
The patients will be randomized to one of four arms and will be delivered different kinds of digital treatment.
All patients will have access to ask questions to a registred dietitian.
Primary end point is the proportion of patients with treatment success in the low FODMAP, behavioral therapy or both groups, versus the patient education group (sham).
Treatment effect is defines as an improvement of 50 points or more on the IBS severity scoring system at 3 months agter treatment start compared to the score beofre treatment.
