Trial summary

1. To analyze the prevalence of overlap syndromes among NERD or RH, FD, and IBS patients, and to identify and to compare the differences in their characteristics and symptoms, and to determine their risk factors. 2. To identify the differences in clinical features according to sex and gender. 3. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Sex and Gender Difference in Overlap Syndrome of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorder and the Effect of Genetic Polymorphism in South Korea

  1. To analyze the prevalence of overlap syndromes among NERD or RH, FD, and IBS patients, and to identify and to compare the differences in their characteristics and symptoms, and to determine their risk factors.
  2. To identify the differences in clinical features according to sex and gender.
  3. To analyze the effect of genetic polymorphisms on overlap FGIDs over long-term follow-up period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Symptom severity score (5 Likert scale, from 0 to 4)

    FGID symptom severity score score by K-BDQ

    Measured: per 16 years

  2. Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS)

    by HADS questionnaire

    Measured: per 16 years

  3. Genetic polymorphisms of SLC6A4 5-HTTLPR, GNB3, ADRA2, TNFA, IL10 gene

    Measured: per 16 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Prevalence of overlap syndromes among FGIDs(NERD or RH, FD, and IBS) patients

    Measured: per 16 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders and Overlap Syndromes, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Symptom severity score (5 Likert scale, from 0 to 4) (time frame: per 16 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jan 2021.
