Home electrical stimulation for constipation IBS pain
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a home device that uses mild skin electrical stimulation can reduce belly pain from IBS with constipation. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and helpful for symptom relief over the study period.

This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive ear stimulation device (taVNS) used at home to reduce pain from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It might help if you have moderate pain most days.
This study tests a gentle stimulation of the vagus nerve (a nerve that helps the gut work) using a small device on the ear, for people with IBS-C. The goal is to see if this can improve constipation and other IBS symptoms without drugs.
This trial tests whether combining brain stimulation (called transcranial magnetic stimulation) with either a medication or a probiotic can help reduce diarrhea and belly pain in people with IBS. If you join, you'll receive one of these combinations to see if it improves your symptoms.
This study tests a small electrical device worn on the wrist that may help reduce belly pain and diarrhea in people with diarrhea-type irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). It uses gentle electrical pulses on the skin, which might help calm the gut.
This study uses brain stimulation (TMS) customized for each person to treat IBS. It uses MRI scans to see how the brain responds, aiming to find better ways to predict who will benefit from this therapy.
