Brain stimulation and gut treatments for diarrhea-predominant IBS
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have IBS where diarrhea is the main symptom (loose or watery stools).

This trial tests if a type of brain stimulation called low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (lf-rTMS) can reduce belly pain in people with irritable bowel syndrome that causes diarrhea (IBS-D). It is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to target areas of the brain involved in pain perception.
This trial tests a new treatment made from a mix of bacteria that live in the gut. It aims to improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) in people who have certain gut bacteria imbalances.
This trial tests if a special diet (low-FODMAP) combined with a medication (mirtazapine) can improve IBS with diarrhea symptoms. It is for adults who have not tried these treatments before.
This trial tests whether combining a type of brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) with a probiotic tablet can help people with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome. It aims to improve symptoms by targeting both the brain and the gut.
This trial tests whether repeated magnetic stimulation applied to the scalp (a non-invasive procedure) can reduce diarrhea and belly pain in people with diarrhea-predominant IBS. The goal is to see if this brain-based treatment can improve your symptoms.
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.
