NCT ID NCT07397533
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether adding pain neuroscience education to a walking program can reduce abdominal pain, symptom severity, and stress levels in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Thirty-three adults with IBS will be split into three groups: exercise alone, exercise plus education, or a control group. The goal is to find a non-drug approach to managing IBS symptoms.
