Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Mesalazine is effective in the treatment of the abdominal discomfort or pain of Irritable Bowel Syndrome patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The present study is a prospective, double blind, randomised, multicenter trial designed to study the efficacy of mesalazine treatment on symptoms of IBS. In a subgroup of patients the efficacy of this treatment will be also assessed on low-grade inflammation. We expect to confirm that mesalazine treatment reduces the number and activation of inflammatory cells in the colonic mucosa of IBS patients, thus providing the rationale for the assessment of this treatment on symptoms of IBS.
