Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. The degree of IBS symptom severity, measured using the scale of irritable bowel syndromes symptom severity score (IBS-SSS) at baseline, 2 weeks ± 3 days (duration of treatment), 4 weeks ± 3 days (end of treatment), 8 weeks ± 3 days (end of follow-up) 2. Stool frequency: the average daily number of voluntary defecations in the week before each timepoint at baseline, 2 weeks ± 3 days (duration of treatment), 4 weeks ± 3 days (end of treatment), 8 weeks ± 3 days (end of follow-up) 3. Stool consistency measured using the Bristol stool scale at baseline, 2 weeks ± 3 days (duration of treatment), 4 weeks ± 3 days (end of treatment), 8 weeks ± 3 days (end of follow-up) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Quality of life measured using the scale of IBS-quality of life (IBS-QOL) at baseline, 4 weeks ± 3 days (end of treatment) 2. Anxiety of patient measured using the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) at baseline, 4 weeks ± 3 days (end of treatment) 3. Depression of patient measured using the self-rating depression scale (SDS) at baseline, 4 weeks ± 3 days (end of treatment) 4. Safety assessed by: 4.1. Routine examination (blood routine, urine routine, stool routine + OB) at baseline, 4 weeks ± 3 days (end of treatment) 4.2. Biochemical indexes including liver function (ALT, AST), kidney function (BUN, Cr) measured at baseline, 4 weeks ± 3 days (end of treatment) 4.3. Electrocardiogram measured at baseline, 4 weeks ± 3 days (end of treatment) 4.4. Adverse reactions, such as rash, constipation, or other special symptoms, recorded at any time during the treatment by the patient: Incidence of adverse reactions = (number of adverse reactions / total cases) × 100% 4.5. Adverse events, such as loss of function or disability, life-threatening or even death, recorded at any time during the treatment by the researchers: incidence of adverse events = (number of adverse events / total cases) × 100% | — |
