NCT ID NCT07397533

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
aerobic exercise and pain neuroscience education
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to ease IBS pain and improve quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 33 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It tests a behavioral approach, not a cure.

Participants

About 33 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
