Changkang granules for diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a Chinese herbal medicine called Changkang granules to see if it can reduce belly pain and diarrhea in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) where diarrhea is the main symptom. It may help if your IBS is linked to stress or emotions, which is called 'liver qi affecting the spleen' in traditional Chinese medicine.
