Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between core muscle functions (strength, endurance, thickness) and symptoms in individuals with abdominal bloating/distension. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does symptoms in individuals with abdominal bloating/distension have an effect on core muscles? How do core muscles change based on an increase or decrease in these symptoms?

Detailed Description

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

In studies on individuals with abdominal bloating/distension in the literature, the diaphragm, abdominal muscles, and pelvic floor muscles have been examined separately. There is no study that examines all core muscles together in such cases. Additionally, there is no study examining the relationship between core muscle function and symptoms. Therefore, the aim of our study is to investigate the relationship between core muscle functions (strength, endurance, thickness) and symptoms in individuals with abdominal bloating/distension.
