Study to Learn More About the Onset of Effect of Iberogast in Patients Suffering From Abnormal Stomach and Intestine Function
- Conditions
- Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders
- Registration Number
- NCT04059783
- Lead Sponsor
- Bayer
- Brief Summary
Several studies have been done on the efficacy of the herbal medicine Iberogast. In this study researcher want to learn more about the time needed for Iberogast to start to work after the patient took the drug. This study plans to enroll 300 adult male and female patients suffering from disturbance of stomach and intestine normal function and treated by their doctor with Iberogast drops. Patients will be asked to document on a diary card the changes of symptom severity of the stomach and intestine complaints and the time needed for the symptoms to improve after drug intake. At the end of the study the treating doctor and the patients will be asked about the overall changes of symptoms. In addition information on the safety of the drug and how well the drug is tolerated by the patients will be collected

Name Time Method Onset of improvement assessed by patient on day 2 On day 2 The onset of effect (severity of the functional gastrointestinal symptoms as well as the time frame within which the symptoms improved) was documented by the patients in the patient diary card. According to the time frame stated in the card (1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, more than 2 hours), the patients had to mark the time with a cross at which their symptoms significantly improved (i.e. perceived by the patient) following the one-time intake of Iberogast at morning, noon and evening on day 2
Onset of improvement assessed by patient on day 5 On day 5 The onset of effect (severity of the functional gastrointestinal symptoms as well as the time frame within which the symptoms improved) was documented by the patients in the patient diary card. According to the time frame stated in the card (1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, more than 2 hours), the patients had to mark the time with a cross at which their symptoms significantly improved (i.e. perceived by the patient) following the one-time intake of Iberogast at morning, noon and evening on day 5
Onset of improvement assessed by patient on day 3 On day 3 The onset of effect (severity of the functional gastrointestinal symptoms as well as the time frame within which the symptoms improved) was documented by the patients in the patient diary card. According to the time frame stated in the card (1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, more than 2 hours), the patients had to mark the time with a cross at which their symptoms significantly improved (i.e. perceived by the patient) following the one-time intake of Iberogast at morning, noon and evening on day 3
Onset of improvement assessed by patient on day 6 On day 6 The onset of effect (severity of the functional gastrointestinal symptoms as well as the time frame within which the symptoms improved) was documented by the patients in the patient diary card. According to the time frame stated in the card (1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, more than 2 hours), the patients had to mark the time with a cross at which their symptoms significantly improved (i.e. perceived by the patient) following the one-time intake of Iberogast at morning, noon and evening on day 6
Onset of improvement assessed by patient on day 7 On day 7 The onset of effect (severity of the functional gastrointestinal symptoms as well as the time frame within which the symptoms improved) was documented by the patients in the patient diary card. According to the time frame stated in the card (1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, more than 2 hours), the patients had to mark the time with a cross at which their symptoms significantly improved (i.e. perceived by the patient) following the one-time intake of Iberogast at morning, noon and evening on day 7
Onset of improvement assessed by patient on day 8 On day 8 The onset of effect (severity of the functional gastrointestinal symptoms as well as the time frame within which the symptoms improved) was documented by the patients in the patient diary card. According to the time frame stated in the card (1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, more than 2 hours), the patients had to mark the time with a cross at which their symptoms significantly improved (i.e. perceived by the patient) following the one-time intake of Iberogast at morning, noon and evening on day 8
Change of GIS score from baseline up to 3 weeks after treatment At baseline and up to 3 weeks post-treatment Gastrointestinal System Profile (GIS) includes 5 scores: 0=Not available, 1=Slight, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe, 4=Very severe
Global assessment by the physicians using a 4-point likert scale Up to 3 weeks Therapeutic success assessed by physicians. 0=Not improved, 1=Slightly improved, 2=Significantly approved, 3=No symptoms
Global assessment by the patient using a 4-point likert scale Up to 3 weeks Therapeutic success assessed by patient. 0=Not improved, 1=Slightly improved, 2=Significantly approved, 3=No symptoms
Change of ratings of symptom severity on a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) over time after intake of Iberogast At baseline and up to 2 hours post-treatment on day 1 Visual Analogue Scale to evaluate the general severity of symptoms. It is an unmarked scale on a line 100 mm in length, indicating from 0 mm (no symptoms) to 100 mm (severe symptoms).
Onset of improvement assessed by patient on day 1 On day 1 The onset of effect (severity of the functional gastrointestinal symptoms as well as the time frame within which the symptoms improved) was documented by the patients in the patient diary card. According to the time frame stated in the card (1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, more than 2 hours), the patients had to mark the time with a cross at which their symptoms significantly improved (i.e. perceived by the patient) following the one-time intake of Iberogast at morning, noon and evening on day 1
Onset of improvement assessed by patient on day 4 On day 4 The onset of effect (severity of the functional gastrointestinal symptoms as well as the time frame within which the symptoms improved) was documented by the patients in the patient diary card. According to the time frame stated in the card (1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, more than 2 hours), the patients had to mark the time with a cross at which their symptoms significantly improved (i.e. perceived by the patient) following the one-time intake of Iberogast at morning, noon and evening on day 4
