Virtual reality and linaclotide for IBS with constipation
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) plus linaclotide can improve symptoms and quality of life in adults with IBS-C (IBS with constipation). You may be asked to use VR and take a study medicine, while doctors check that your IBS diagnosis fits strict criteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a medication called linaclotide (a pill that helps with constipation) can improve the bowel-cleaning process before a colonoscopy. It may make the preparation easier and more effective.
This trial studies whether virtual reality can help people with functional dyspepsia, a type of stomach discomfort that isn’t caused by a specific disease. You may be a good candidate if tests have ruled out other stomach problems like ulcers or an active H. pylori infection.
This study tests a medication called linaclotide to see how well it works and how safe it is for people with chronic constipation or IBS-C. You may take the medication and keep track of your bowel habits in a daily diary.
