Electrical wristband therapy for diarrhea-type irritable bowel syndrome
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with diarrhea-type irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) for at least 6 months, with belly pain or discomfort at least 1 day per week in the last 3 months.
- Your belly pain or discomfort scores at least 3 out of 10 on average in the last week.
- You have had loose or watery stools (Bristol types 6 or 7) on at least 2 days in the last week.
- You had a colonoscopy within the last 3 years that showed no serious bowel disease (small polyps or diverticula are okay).

This trial tests a new treatment called SMT04 for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), specifically the diarrhea or mixed types. It may help reduce symptoms like abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits.
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 trial tests a wearable compression device designed to help people with moderate to severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The device applies variable pressure to the abdomen and may help reduce symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and bowel irregularities.
