Study / symptoms / mean / chronic / trials / findings /
life / well / being / reviews / patients
Functional constipation (FC) is a common clinical condition without any specific physiological causes. The prevalence of constipation ranges from 0.7% to 81% around the world, whereas the prevalence of FC varies from 2.4% to 27.2%. The mean (1) prevalence of FC was reported to be 14% in a recent systematic review. FC is a chronic and refractory condition; a study (2) showed that 89% of patients with constipation still reported constipation during a mean follow-up period of 14.7 months. Constipation symptoms significantly reduce patients’ quality of life (3) (QOL), mentally and physically. Additionally, it is reported that constipation is related to a higher possibility of obesity. Direct cost of chronic (4) FC for each patient ranges from $1912 to $7522/year. Considering that FC makes a significant impact on QOL and influences physical and emotional¬¬¬¬ well-being (5), it should be considered as a major public health problem.
A number of therapies are used to manage constipation symptoms (6) for patients with FC, such as laxatives, selective 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 4 (5-HT4) agonists, etc. Recent systematic reviews (7) reported that laxatives, prucalopride, lubiprostone and linaclotide are effective for managing FC compared with placebo; however, more events of diarrhea were reported. Similar findings (8) were made in several recent reviews that pharmacological therapies are effective for relieving constipation symptoms, but more adverse events happen in patients receiving these treatments. Traditional herbal medicine was reported to be helpful with less adverse events in the treatment of FC; however, recent reviews concluded that more trials with rigorous design are needed to confirm the effectiveness of traditional herbal medicine for FC.
Non-pharmacological therapies are popular among patients with FC; however, most of them lack supportive evidence. A systematic review reporting non-pharmacological treatments for paediatric constipation concluded that there is a lack of well-designed randomised-controlled trials (9) to verify whether these treatments are effective. Although several non-pharmacological therapies were claimed to be beneficial for patients with FC, most of them lacked supportive evidence. Therefore, we raised the following questions: are non-pharmacological therapies effective and efficacious for patients with FC?; if so, are non-pharmacological therapies safe for patients with FC? To answer these questions, we will conduct a systematic review of non-pharmacological therapies for patients (10) with FC, hoping to find the answers. In this article, we present a protocol for the systematic review.
