Brief summary

Type : interventional, randomized single blind study Aim : to evaluate 3 sessions of osteopathy on IBS-like symptoms associated with ulcerative colitis in remission Number of patients : 50 (randomization 1:1) Duration of the inclusion period : 2 years Primary end-point : Irritable Bowel Syndrome Severity Scoring System (IBS SSS) at 3 months

Detailed description

Osteopathy has been shown to be effective in IBS patients in few studies and to improve IBS-like symptoms in a short series of Crohn patients. IBS-like symptoms are frequent in patients with ulcerative colitis in remission (about 20 %). The aim of this interventional, randomized single blind study is to evaluate the impact of 3 sessions of osteopathy on Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms in 50 patients (randomisation 1:1) with ulcerative colitis in remission (defined by fecal calprotectin \< 200 µg/g). The two group of patients will have 4 sessions of osteopathy (M0, M1, M2, M3). The treated group will have 3 sessions of osteopathy testing followed by osteopathy treatment (M0, M1, M2) and a final testing session at M3. The untreated group will have 4 sessions of only testing osteopathy (M0, M1, M2, M3). Primary end-points : Irritable Bowel Syndrome Severity Scoring System (IBS SSS) at 3 months (M3) Secondary end-points : Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire ol, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue at M3, evaluation of osteopathic dysfunctions between M0 and M3, questionnaire for use of medication for IBS between M0 and M3

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluate the score change of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Severity Scoring System (IBS SSS)Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4index of severity of Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
IBDQol : Inflammatory Bowel Disease QuestionnaireMonth 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4Index of quality of life dedicated to Inflammatory Disease Bowel patients : the score is high, better the quality of life
FACIT-F : Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-FatigueMonth 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4Validated fatigue score with question about quality of life 45/5000 if the score is high, the patient is tired
Evaluation of osteopathic dysfunctionsMonth 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4it will be interesting to see if patients with remission-prone RCH have similar osteopathic dysfunctions at the beginning of the study, and then if the management during the study influences or not these osteopathic dysfunctions. Osteopathic dysfunction is an alteration of the mobility, viscoelasticity or texture of somatic system components. It is accompanied or not by a painful sensibility.
Questionnaire for use of medication for Irritable Bowel SyndromeMonth 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4if treatment modification, dose reduction or change in treatment
