Effects of Mucosave® on Gastrointestinal Discomfort

Clinical Study on the Effects of the Product Mucosave® on Gastrointestinal Discomfort and the Quality of Life in Healthy Volunteers

The Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) questionnaire contains questions on gastrointestinal symptoms, each with 5 answers in the "Likert scale" style (technique for measuring the attitude), according to the meaning "higher score, better quality of life". The GIQLI is an appropriate, validated and potentially useful tool to assess health-related quality of life in clinical studies of patients with gastrointestinal disease.
Each of the 36 items is scored on a five-point scale (0 to 4) denoting the burden of the particular symptom or dysfunction. The total score ranged from 0 (worst) to 144 (best quality of life) with higher scores representing better quality of life. Subscales can be summarized or averaged.

GSAS is a 15-item tool designed to evaluate various aspects including stress about gastrointestinal symptoms before and after treatments. GSAS is a self-administered questionnaire that asks patients to report about the previous week for 15 specific symptoms: heartburn, a feeling of pressure inside chest, food coming back into mouth, an acid in mouth, frequent gurgling, feeling of lump in throat, nausea, burning pain in throat, bloating, belching, flatulence, feeling full after eating, bad breath, coughing, and hoarseness.
Scoring of the GSAS distress subscale is based on the presence of the symptoms and their bother ratings. Specifically, patients first indicate whether they had the symptom in the past week. If they did not have the symptom, their score for the symptom is 0. If they did have the symptom, they then report how bothered they were by it on a 4-point scale (0 ? not at all, 1 ? somewhat, 2 ? quite a bit, 3 ? very much). Subscales can be summarized or averaged.

Each participant received a daily diary in which they found a few simple multiple choice questions, which helped the investigators to establish the individual degree of satisfaction of treatment. Each participant was asked to answer for the first 15 days of treatment with Mucosave® or placebo to the following questions: How are you today?, How are you compared to yesterday?, Have you had heartburn today?, have you had abdominal swelling today?, Have you had belching today?, Which symptoms were improved today?.

Each participant will collect a stool sample before and another at the end of period of supplementation for intestinal microbiota investigation .

A Comparison of Effectiveness of Oral Sucrolfate, Alginate and Hydrotalcide in Dispeptic Pain Treatment

A Comparison of Effectiveness of Oral Sucrolfate, Alginate and Hydrotalcide in Dispeptic Pain Treatment: Randomized Trial

Compare relief of dispeptic complaint with using VAS (Visual Analog Scale) in 3 groups of alginate, sucralfate and hydrotalcite patients. Patients' pain scores were recorded using 0-100 mm VAS (Visual Analog Scale) to score the degree of dyspeptic complaints. VAS; It is composed of a measured horizontal or vertical line and often carries definitions of "no symptoms" on one end and "severe symptoms" on the other end. The patient is told to mark a point on the line according to the severity of the symptom. The location of the marker allows the severity of the symptom to be measured. The VAS markings on the evaluation forms prepared for the study before and during the procedure were made by the patient himself and regardless of the previous sign. Patients with VAS> 50 were treated. Patients were observed for 60 minutes in the emergency department and 60-minute VAS (Visual Analog Scale) score above 50 were given to the patient for rescue treatment.
