Relaxation training for constipation-type irritable bowel syndrome
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a guided relaxation technique called autogenic training can help reduce symptoms of constipation-predominant IBS in women. The goal is to see if teaching your body to relax on command can improve your digestive symptoms.
