Abstract:
Abdominal pain is a prominent syndrome in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which greatly affects the quality of life of patients. Due to the complexity of etiology and great individual variation, abdominal pain treatment in IBS patients is still a clinical difficulty. The treatment of IBS pain includes non ‑ drug therapy (lifestyle intervention such as diet and exercise, gut microbiota modulation), drug therapy (antispasmodics, peppermint oil, antidepressants, non ‑ absorbed antibiotic) and psychological behavior intervention. This article reviewed the status and progress of pain treatment in IBS, so as to provide evidences for clinicians.
