NCT ID NCT07256262
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a non-invasive magnetic treatment can help people with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). About 50 adults aged 18-65 will try functional magnetic therapy to see if it improves constipation, abdominal pain, bloating, and quality of life. The goal is to find a drug-free option for managing IBS-C symptoms.
