ObjectiveChronic constipation is a challenging functional gastrointestinal disorder that remains a global burden. Pharmacologic therapy, including laxatives and dietary fibers, are suggested as lines of treatment. Recent trials introduced an orally ingested vibrating capsule (VC) as an eligible option for ...
For the study, 26 patients swallowed a vibrating capsule twice a week and then filled out a questionnaire on their bathroom habits. The researchers did not provide laxatives or any other constipation treatments to the participants. Overall, people who took vibrating capsules reported their number of...
Quigley concluded that “the vibrating capsule was well accepted and well tolerated by subjects withchronic constipation,” and that the higher dose in the second study appeared to be even more effective than the lower dose in the randomized controlled trial sub...
According to the clinical studies conducted so far (which are admittedly small in scope), the capsule has zero side effects — and the patients didn’t even feel it. We could talk about constipation all day, but for your sake (and in case you’re eating lunch) we’ll stick to the ...
Notably, the capsule can also be personalized for patients suffering from different kinds of constipation by allowing a gastroenterologist to adjust the timing and duration of the vibration treatment. However, the most promising aspect of the research is that the capsule can also be tweaked to solve...
