Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
Pain score 0-10 reported by subject; reported daily during 2 weeks, three times: directly after inclusion (T1), 6 weeks after that (T2, after treatment period for the treatment group) and 10 weeks after that (T3,follow up). In total 42 reported scores.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Many patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) suffer from severe and frequent abdominal pain. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence based, standard treatment for PTSD and for psychopathology in which unresolved unpleasant experiences play a role in the development and / or maintenance of complaints. In recent years, increasing scientific evidence has been found that EMDR as a treatment can also be effective for chronic pain. To date, no scientific research has been conducted to investigate the effect of EMDR on abdominal pain (in IBS). Results with individual patients in clinical practice are promising.
It is hypothesized that EMDR treatment will reduce abdominal pain in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). In addition, the effect of EMDR treatment on IBS complaints other than pain is examined, as well as the effect of EMDR treatment on the quality of life of patients with IBS.
It is a randomized clinical trial, in which the control group is 'wait list' (e.g. receives treatment after their participation in the trial has finished).
