研究概览

简要总结

This study is a randomized, double blind, parallel group multicenter study to evaluate the effect and safety of synbiotic formulation in comparison to placebo in 90 subjects with constipation. The primary objective of this study will be to evaluate the effect of a synbiotic (probiotic and prebiotic combination) formulation on gastrointestinal parameters primarily gastrointestinal transit time (bowel habit and transit time) and improvement of abdominal symptoms (distension, bloating, flatulence, abdominal pain).
