Colonic Myoelectrical Activity in Irritable-Bowel Syndrome: Effect of Eating and Anticholinergics

Sullivan, Mark A., Cohen, Sidney, Snape, William J.·1978·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

To determine the effect of a standard meal on colonic myoelectrical and motor activity in the irritable-bowel syndrome and to determine the effect of a single dose of an oral anticholinergic drug (clidinium bromide) on this response, we studied 10 patients. These patients showed a prolonged increase in both colonic spike (P less than 0.05) and motor activity (P less than 0.05) after eating as compared to normal subjects. Clidinium did not affect the frequency of colonic slow waves or the basal colonic spike and motor activity. However, the anticholinergic reduced the prolonged postprandial colonic spike and motor response in the patients and also reduced the postprandial increase in colonic contractions at 3 cycles per minute (P less than 0.05). These studies indicate that patients with the irritable-bowel syndrome show an abnormally prolonged post-prandial increase in colonic spike and motor activity. An anticholinergic drug reduces the duration and the magnitude of this abnormal colonic response.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
