Abstract:
Objective To explore the distribution characteristics and development trend of TCM prevention and treatment for irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)by analyzing the clinical trials of TCM prevention and treatment for IBS registered in China Clinical Trial Registry(ChiCTR).Methods The ChiCTR database was retrieved to collect and organize clinical trials related to the TCM prevention and treatment of IBS from the establishment of the database to May 1,2024.Characteristics of the included trials were analyzed and summarized using SPSS 25.0 and Excel 2021.Results A total of 73 clinical trials were included,of which 65 were pre-registered.The registered research projects involved 14 provincial-level administrative regions,including Beijing,Jiangsu,Guangdong,Shanghai,and Sichuan,and 46 clinical trial institutions,among which Beijing University of Chinese Medicine(6 items,7.89%)registered a higher number.The top three sources of research funding were,in order,local finance(26 items,35.62%),state finance(20 items,27.40%),and hospital funding(10 items,13.70%).The types of studies were predominantly interventional(68 items,93.15%),and the study designs were predominantly randomized parallel controlled studies(64 items,87.67%),but only 27 studies(36.99%)used a blinded approach.The main interventions included acupuncture and moxibustion,Chinese patent medicines,classic prescriptions/hospital-prepared remedies,etc.Conclusion The number of clinical research registrations in this field has been gradually increasing in recent years,but there are problems such as uneven regional distribution,low use of blinding,and lack of standardization of registration information.
