Effect of Ramosetron in Patients With Diarrhea Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Effect of Ramosetron in Patients With Diarrhea Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) tends to be a lifelong disorder and it is often frustrating to both patients and physicians. This study aim of improving symptom control, reducing healthcare burden and upgrading the quality of life of patient with diarrhea predominant IBS-D.
Patients of both sex of age group 18-65 years attending gastroenterology outpatient department Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) meeting the inclusion criteria of Diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) will be initially enrolled for the study. Their history, clinical examination & initial investigations will be done. Report will be noted in the standard data sheet. Any alternative diagnosis if proven by clinical examination or laboratory investigation will be excluded from the study.
Each patient will go through a run-in period of 7 days. Number of subjects will be recruited according to sample size. Randomization into two groups will be performed by online randomizer websites.
One group will receive tablet ramosetron 2.5 mcg one time daily at morning before breakfast while the other group will receive identical looking placebo one tablet once daily at same time. Both groups will be adviced for low FODMAP diet along with lifestyle modification. The tablets will be administered for total 4 weeks. Before starting treatment, each individual will undergo a baseline assessment during which demographic data, base line investigations, IBS symptoms by IBS Symptom Severity Score (IBS-SSS) will be recorded. Patients will be followed-up after 4 weeks and 8 weeks by IBS-SSS questionnaire. Any adverse effect will be reported quickly and documented at the same time.
IBS-SSS is a 5 item tools. It is primarily measures the IBS symptoms which includes abdominal pain and distension as well as bowel satisfaction. This scale evaluates IBS symptoms: abdominal pain, abdominal distension, stool frequency and consistency and interference with life in general. The IBS-SSS calculates the sum of these 5 items scored on a visual analogue scale from 0-100.

Improvement of diarrhea predominant IBS symptoms
時間枠：At baseline before randomization and then at week 4 and week 8
|
The improvement of IBS symptoms will be assessed by IBS symptom severity score (IBS-SSS).
This score is a Likert scale with seven domains divided into two parts.
Part one is the severity score containing four domains, where domain one has two separate scoring scale.
Each scale scoring from 0 to 100, that makes it a total score of 500.
The severity is denoted as Mild (Score 75 to 175), Moderate (Score 176 to 300), and severe (Score more than 300).
The part two is a descriptive questionnaire about bowel habit
