Brief Summary

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

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), originally known to be a member of the nerve growth factor family, has aroused attention as a modulator in visceral hyperalgesia recently. Visceral hypersensitivity is recognized as a clinical hallmark in IBS patients. So in this study, the investigators will focus on the role of BDNF in colonic hyperalgesia in IBS patients.
