An Open-Label Trial of Duloxetine for the Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Without Comorbid Major Depressive Disorder
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating duloxetine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
We hypothesize that duloxetine treatment will be associated with improvement in symptoms of IBS, particularly abdominal pain, in individuals without comorbid major depressive disorder. During this 12-week, open-label, outpatient study, male and female subjects between the ages of 18 and 65 years who have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) will be treated with open-label duloxetine.
