NCT04074421

Brief Summary

We will use the latest Rome IV criteria to recruit IBS-D patients and evaluate the effects of repeated treatment with rifaximin and sequential treatment with rifaximin and probiotics on different symptoms and quality of life. High-throughput sequencing combined with real-time quantitative PCR will be used to comprehensively analyze the effects of different drugs on intestinal flora. The study has important guiding significance for the treatment of patients with IBS-D.
