Body awareness and balance in constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) sense their body (called interoception) and how that relates to their balance and posture. It aims to understand if these are different in IBS-C patients compared to people without the condition.
