Summary
This study tests two treatments for abdominal pain in people with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C): a home-based nerve stimulation device called TEA and a medication (escitalopram, also known as Lexapro). About 160 adults with ongoing IBS-C symptoms will be assigned to one of these treatments or a placebo. The goal is to see if these treatments reduce daily belly pain and improve quality of life over 14 weeks.
