Umbilical moxibustion for IBS with constipation

This trial tests if a traditional Chinese therapy called umbilical moxibustion (a heat treatment on the belly button) can help people with irritable bowel syndrome that causes constipation (IBS-C). It compares moxibustion to a placebo treatment to see if it improves symptoms.
