Official title
The Impact of Lubiprostone on Mucus Secretion in Asymptomatic Volunteers and Patients With Chronic Constipation
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The investigators hypothesize that the symptoms of chronic constipation in some patients are developed due to diminished production and secretion of the alimentary tract mucus resulting in poor lubrication. Therefore, the investigators assume that administration of lubiprostone may restore this lubrication impairment by stimulation of mucus production and secretion within the gastrointestinal tract.
