Study Summary

We hypothesize that duloxetine treatment will be associated with improvement in symptoms of IBS, particularly abdominal pain, in individuals without comorbid major depressive disorder. During this 12-week, open-label, outpatient study, male and female subjects between the ages of 18 and 65 years who have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) will be treated with open-label duloxetine.

Primary Outcome

Subjects rated abdominal pain daily on a scale of 0-10 (0 being no pain and 10 being worst pain). The pain score at each visit represented the mean score from all days since the previous visit.
