NCT ID NCT07688161

First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This clinical trial investigates whether Jingfang Granules, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, can safely and effectively reduce symptoms of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) in people with a specific pattern called cold-dampness disturbing spleen syndrome. The study compares Jingfang Granules to the standard drug trimebutine over 4 weeks of treatment, followed by 12 weeks of follow-up. Researchers will measure changes in IBS severity, stool consistency, quality of life, and explore how the treatment might work by looking at immune and gut barrier markers.
