NCT06518850

Brief Summary

Most studies of bloating have focused on functional factors, while data on organic abdominal distention are rare, and studies that combine small intestine bacterial overgrowth and/or oral cecum transit time abnormalities are more urgent to explore. On this basis, patients with functional abdominal distension complicated with small intestine bacterial overgrowth were divided according to whether there was abnormal oral cecum transit time, and given the same treatment plan. The relief effect of abdominal distension, small intestine bacterial overgrowth turning negative and oral cecum transit time recovery were observed, so as to further clarify the cause of abdominal distension patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Part 1 Positive rate of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth

    Positive rate of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in organic and functional abdominal distension

    1 day

  • Part 1 Abnormal rate of oral cecum transit time

    Abnormal rate of oral cecum transit time in organic and functional abdominal distension

    1 day

  • Part 2 Effective rate of abdominal distension

    Total effective rate (%) = Obvious effective rate (%) + Effective rate (%) 1. Obvious effect: the degree and frequency of abdominal distension score improved, or even completely disappeared, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth negative 2. Effective: the degree and frequency of abdominal distension score improved, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth positive 3. Ineffective: the degree and frequency of abdominal distension score did not improve

    2 weeks

  • Part 2 Negative conversion rate of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and oral cecum transit time

    1. Negative conversion rate of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (%) =Number of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth negative after treatment/ Number of functional abdominal distention in Part 2\*100% 2. Negative conversion rate of oral cecum transit time (%) =Number of oral cecum transit time normal after treatment/ Number of experimental in Part 2\*100%

    2 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Sham Comparator(Normal oral cecum transit time)

SHAM COMPARATOR

Normal oral cecum transit time +functional abdominal distention +small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.Rifaximin (0.2g/ time, 4 times/day) was discontinued after 14 days of treatment.

Drug: Rifaximin

Experimental(Abnormal oral cecum transit time)

EXPERIMENTAL

Abnormal oral cecum transit time +functional abdominal distention +small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.Rifaximin (0.2g/ time, 4 times/day) was discontinued after 14 days of treatment.

Drug: Rifaximin

Interventions

Both groups were treated with rifaximin for 14 days, during which follow-up records were reported by the subjects in the daily reference case report form. Methane and hydrogen breath tests were repeated 2 weeks after withdrawal.
