EPIDEMIOLOGY
Prevalence estimates for IBS have varied from 3% to 20% in the United States, with similar results reported elsewhere; however, prevalence estimates are influenced substantially by the definition applied.
For example, in Olmsted County, Minnesota, the prevalence of IBS varied from 8% to 22% depending on the criteria used.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and chronic constipation (CC) are 2 of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders estimated to affect nearly 1 in 5 North Americans. • It has been estimated that the annual cost of IBS in the United States is between $1.7 and $10 billion in direct medical costs, excluding prescription and over-the-counter drugs, and up to $20 billion in indirect costs.

November 2013 JMCP Journal of Managed Care Pharmacy
Direct costs of IBS ranged from $1,562 to $7,547 per year, and the indirect costs ranged from $791 to $7,737 per year, while the direct costs of CC ranged from $1,912 to $7,522 per year. Indirect costs for CC were not identified. • The distribution health care cost of IBS varied widely, particularly outpatient costs (12.7% to > 50% of total costs), inpatient costs (6.2% to 40.8%), and pharmacy or drug costs (5.9% to 46.6%). Neither study reported cost by standard categories of service. • In studies that compared IBS with a non-IBS control population, quality of life (as measured by SF-36) was significantly lower in IBS patients than in controls. Only 1 study of CC patients reported humanistic burden.

La sindrome del colon irritabile (IBS) costa 30 miliardi di euro in soli 10 Paesi dell'Ue. Solo in Italia ne soffrono oltre 3 milioni di cittadini e l'IBS risulta ad oggi tra le principali
cause di assenza dal posto di lavoro.

- Manning (1978) - Kruis (1984) - Rome I (1990) - Rome II (1999) - Rome III (2006)
Diagnostic criteria Symptoms, signs, and laboratory investigations
included in criteria
• Manning (1978): IBS is defined as the symptoms given below with no duration of symptoms described. The number of symptoms that need to be present to diagnose IBS is not reported in the paper, but a threshold of three positive is the most commonly used:
• 1. Abdominal pain relieved by defecation • 2. More frequent stools with onset of pain • 3. Looser stools with onset of pain • 4. Mucus per rectum • 5. Feeling of incomplete emptying • 6. Patient-reported visible abdominal distension
Diagnostic criteria Symptoms, signs, and laboratory investigations
included in criteria Kruis (1984): IBS is defined by a logistic regression model that
describes the probability of IBS. Symptoms need to be present for more than two years. Symptoms: 1. Abdominal pain, flatulence, or bowel irregularity 2. Description of character and severity of abdominal pain 3. Alternating constipation and diarrhea Signs that exclude IBS (each determined by the physician): 1. Abnormal physical findings and/or history pathognomonic for any diagnosis other than IBS 2. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate >20 mm/2 h 3. Leukocytosis >10,000/cc 4. Anemia (Hemoglobin < 12 for women or < 14 for men) 5. Impression by the physician that the patient has rectal bleeding
Diagnostic criteria Symptoms, signs, and laboratory investigations
included in criteria I) Rome I (1990): Abdominal pain or discomfort relieved with defecation, or
associated with a change in stool frequency or consistency, PLUS two or more of the following on at least 25% of occasions or days for three months:

Il dolore addominale è il sintomo principale dell’IBS, e correla con la severità della malattia e con la ridotta qualità di vita dei pazienti
Sandler et al., Gastroenterology 1984 Spiegel et al., Arch Int Med 2004
Dolore addominale Caratteristiche compatibili con IBS: - crampiforme, di intensità variabile e con esacerbazioni periodiche - ampia variabilità di localizzazione e severità - spesso esacerbato da agenti stressanti e dai pasti - alleviato dalla defecazione nella maggior parte dei casi
Caratteristiche non compatibili con IBS: - Dolore associato ad anoressia, calo ponderale o malnutrizione - Dolore progressivo, o che non permette o impedisce il riposo notturno
Variazioni INTER ed INTRA INDIVIDUALI
Alterazioni dell’alvo DIARREA (IBS-D) - Valutata secondo la scala di Bristol tipo 6-7 - Evacuazioni frequenti, di modeste quantità di feci, spesso liquide o
cremose, nella metà dei casi con presenza di muco - Spesso insorge al mattino o dopo i pasti - Precedute da dolore addominale crampiforme o urgenza
all’evacuazione, fino all’incontinenza STIPSI (IBS-C) - Valutata secondo la scala di Bristol tipo 1 - Può durare da giorni a mesi, con intervalli di diarrea o alvo regolare - Spesso presente sensazione di evacuazione incompleta
SINDROME DELL’INTESTINO IRRITABILE: “Sottotipi”
- IBS con stipsi (IBS C): feci dure in più del 25 % delle evacuazioni - IBS con diarrea (IBS D): feci non formate in più del 25% delle evacuazioni - IBS mista - IBS non classificata (unsubtyped)
Altri sintomi
Gastrointestinali: Meteorismo, distensione addominale MRGE Disfagia Sazietà precoce Dispepsia intermittente Nausea
Extraintestinali: Disfunzione sessuale Dismenorrea Dispareunia Incontinenza urinaria Fibromialgia Cefalea Disturbi del sonno (insonnia)
Approccio diagnostico
- Identificare il sintomo dominante (diarrea, stipsi, dolore) ESCLUDERE i sintomi di allarme (non compatibili con IBS) Rettorragia Dolore addominale notturno o progressivo Calo ponderale
Anemia, anormalità elettrolitiche e incremento degli indici di flogosi
Approccio diagnostico
Esami bioumorali di routine solitamente nei limiti
- Emocromo - Ormoni tiroidei - Calcio, elettroliti, glicemia - Indici di infiammaziome (VES; PCR) - Calprotectina e lactoferrina
Approccio diagnostico IBS- C
-Rx diretta addome (coprostasi altre cause di subocclusione?) -Colonscopia (se sospetto di cause organiche, o
comunque come screening nei pazienti di età superiore ai 50 anni)
-Manometria, defecografia, elettromiografia : se disturbi dell'evacuazione, alterazioni del pavimento pelvico.
Approccio diagnostico IBS-D
- Coprocoltura (ruolo minore, ma attenzione alla Giardiasi!)
- Screening per Malattia Celiaca - UBT al lattosio se sospetto deficit di lattasi - Cromogranina, serotonina, ormoni neuroendocrini in
caso di diarrea secretoria - Colonscopia con biopsie (esclusione colite
microscopica)

3- Ipersensibilità Viscerale
La sensibilità viscerale intestinale deriva dalla stimolazione di vari recettori sulla parete intestinale. Questi recettori trasmettono i segnali attraverso la via afferente neuronale alle corna dorsali del midollo spinale e infine al cervello.

3- Ipersensibilità Viscerale
ATTIVAZIONE CEREBRALE EVOCATA DA STIMOLI INTESTINALI NELL’IBS
Verne et al., Pain 2003
ACC: anterior cingulate; PCC: posterior cingulate; PFC: prefrontal cortex; Ins: insula
Stimolo meccanico
Vascolarizzazione valutata tramite RM encefalo Attivazione dei Lobi Frontali (centro della vigilanza e dell'ansia) > attivazione della regione del Cingolo (sistema endogeno di inibizione del dolore)
RECETTORI SENSORIALI NELLA PARETE INTESTINALE
Chemorecettori
Meccanorecettori
Recettori "Silenti"
Muscolo Mucosa
" Infiammazione " Eccessiva contrazione " Eccessiva distensione
3- Ipersensibilità Viscerale I neurotrasmettitori che favoriscono l'ipersensibilità viscerale sono: - serotonina (recettori 5HT3- 5HT4) - neurochinine - peptidi correlati alla calcitonina - N Metil D aspartato (NMDA)
Mechanisms Underlying Visceral HypersensiKvity in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Giovanni Barbaraat al. Curr Gastroenterol Rep (2011)
4- Risposta infiammatoria La risposta infiammatoria può essere associata a infezioni, ad una flora batterica anormale, alla bile, ad antigeni del cibo
Barbara Neurogastroenteroel Motil 2001
LINFOCITI: queste cellule rilasciano mediatori quali l' NO, l' istamina, le proteasi capaci di stimolare il sistema nervoso enterico , portando ad anormalità motorie e della risposta viscerale Linf T CD8+ Linf B -> con produzione di Ig G ( contro i flagelli batterici) MASTOCITI: vi è una correlazione fra il dolore addominale e la presenza di mast cellule in prossimità delle strutture nervose coliche
4- Risposta infiammatoria CITOCHINE PROINFIAMMATORIE (Che attivano i neuroni afferenti) - PREFORMATE: istamina, serotonina, triptasi
- DI NUOVA SINTESI: prostaglandine, leucotrieni e citochine ( IL1, IL6, TNFalfa)
Barbara Neurogastroenteroel Motil 2001
Genes related to mast cells and the intercellular apical junction complex (AJC) were expressed differently than in healthy subjects. The jejunal mucosa of IBS-D patients displays disrupted apical junctional complex integrity associated with mast cell activation and clinical manifestations. These results provide evidence for the organic nature of IBS-D.

6- IBS post- infettivo
6- IBS post- infettivo Teorie proposte: - Malassorbimento degli acidi biliari con sviluppo di diarrea (IBS D) - Incremento di cellule enteroendocrine/linfociti In particolare l'aumento della serotonina porta ad un incremento della motilità intestinale e della sensibilità viscerale - Uso di Antibiotici
Tornblom, Dunlop Gastroent 2007 Barbara J Neurogastroenterol Motil 2011
7- Fattori dietetici Molti pazienti attribuiscono i loro sintomi all'ingestione di alcuni alimenti, l'esclusione dei quali genera miglioramento. - Allergie alimentari: fra i soggetti con IBS c'è una maggiore quantità di soggetti con prick tes cutanei positivi e con IgG elevate verso taluni alimenti - FODMAP ( fermentable oligo-di- mono saccharides and polyols) Fermentano alivello del tenue distale e del colon causando i sintomi dello IBS, incrementando la permeabilità intestinale e forse anche l'infiammazione - Gluten sensitivity: possono sussistere degli overlap fra GS ed IBS
Atkinson Gut 2004 Austin Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2009
8- Microbiota - Nei pazienti con IBS vi può essere un' alterata flora microbica, responsabile di un'aumentata fermentazione ed eccessiva produzione di gas. Il microbiota determina inoltre attivazione di una risposta immune innata a livello mucosale, con incremento della permeabilità epiteliale, attivazione dei nocicettori e disregolazione del sistema nervoso enterico. Questi pazienti possono beneficiare dell'uso di probiotici
Intestinal microbiota in functional bowel disorders: a Rome foundation report. M. Simre, G. Barbara. Gut 2013
- Nel sangue periferico dei pazienti con IBS vi sono Ab contro Ag del microbiota (bacterial flagellin) ed elevati livelli di citochine evocando l'esistenza di un' anormale interazione fra ospite e microbiota con conseguente riposta immunitaria sistemica.

Dietary modifica<on • Lactose • Exclusion of gas-‐producing foods • Fiber • Food allergies ? • Gluten sensitivity ? • Carbohydrate malabsorption ?
FODMAPs One theory related to IBS suggests that symptoms may be at least in part related to impaired absorption of carbohydrates. The theory holds that fermentable oligo-‐, di-‐, and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) in patients with IBS or IBD enter the distal small bowel and colon where they are fermented, leading to symptoms and increased intestinal permeability (and possibly inflammation)
Evidence-based dietary management of functional gastrointestinal symptoms: The FODMAP approach. 2010 Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology
Physical ac<vity METHODS: We randomized 102 pa<ents to a physical ac<vity group and a control group. Pa<ents of the physical ac<vity group were
instructed by a physiotherapist to increase their physical ac<vity, and those of the control group were instructed to maintain their lifestyle. The primary end point was to assess the change in the IBS Severity Scoring System
APer 12 weeks, there was a trend toward more pa<ents in the physical ac<vity arm showing clinical improvement in the severity
of IBS symptoms compared with the control group (43 versus 26 percent, p = 0.07). In addi<on, pa<ents in the physical ac<vity arm were less likely to have clinically significant worsening of their IBS symptoms (8 versus 23 percent, p <0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Increased physical ac<vity improves GI symptoms in IBS. Physically ac<ve pa<ents with IBS will face less symptom deteriora<on
compared with physically inac<ve pa<ents. Physical ac<vity should be used as a primary treatment modality in IBS
Physical activity improves symptoms in irritable bowel syndrome: a randomized controlled trial. Joanneson et al Am J. Gastroenterology,. 2011
Psychosocial therapy Psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have been proposed as useful treatments for IBS.
Based on the available literature, IBS patients with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and psychological distress appear most likely to have a beneficial response to such intervention, particularly if the symptoms have been of short duration and have waxed and waned
Psychosocial therapy 32 RCTs were eligible for inclusion: 20 compared psychological therapies with
control therapy or "usual management", 12 compared antidepressants with placebo.
The RR of IBS symptoms persisting with antidepressants versus placebo was 0.66 (95% CI, 0.57 to 0.78), with similar treatment effects for both tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The RR of symptoms persisting with psychological therapies was 0.67 (95% CI, 0.57 to 0.79). The NNT was 4 for both interventions.
CONCLUSIONS: Antidepressants are effective in the treatment of IBS. There is less high-‐quality evidence for routine use of psychological therapies in IBS, but available data suggest these may be of comparable efficacy.

Medica<ons Pharmacologic agents are only an adjunct to treatment in irritable bowel syndrome.
The chronic use of drugs be generally minimized or avoided because of the lifelong nature of this disorder and the lack of convincing therapeutic benefit.
Poche evidenze The difficulty in demonstrating efficacy may in part be due to
� the heterogeneous population diagnosed with IBS � the lack of disease markers � the high placebo response rates

Loperamide
Loperamide is an opiod-‐receptor agonist and acts on the opioid receptors in the myenteric plexus of the large intestine; by itself it does not affect the central nervous system .
It works similarly to morphine , by � decreasing the activity of the myenteric plexus. � increases the amount of time substances stay in the intestine,
allowing for more water to be absorbed out of the fecal matter. � suppresses the gastrocolic reflex.
Loperamide RESULTS: Throughout the 5 weeks of treatment an � improved stool consistency � reduced defecation frequency were found in the loperamide group. An increase in nightly pain was observed in the loperamide group. CONCLUSIONS: The trial shows a benefit of loperamide in an unselected cohort of IBS patients with
regard to stool frequency, stool consistency, but with increased abdominal pain during the night.

Peppermint oil To determine the efficacy and tolerability of an enteric-‐coated peppermint-‐oil
formulation (Colpermin), we conducted a prospective, randomized, double-‐blind, placebo-‐controlled clinical study in 110 outpatients with symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Patients took one capsule (Colpermin or placebo) three to four times daily, 15-‐30 min before meals, for 1 month.
� 79% (vs 43%) patients on Colpermin experienced an alleviation of abdominal pain � 83 % (vs 29%) had less abdominal distension � 83% (vs 32%) had reduced stool frequency � 73% (vs 31%) had fewer borborygmi � 79% (vs 22%) had less flatulence.

An<depressants Antidepressants have analgesic properties independent of
their mood improving effects and may therefore be beneficial in patients with neuropathic pain. The postulated mechanisms of pain modulation with tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and possibly serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in IBS are facilitation of endogenous endorphin release, blockade of norepinephrine reuptake leading to enhancement of descending inhibitory pain pathways, and blockade of the pain neuromodulator, serotonin . TCAs, via their anticholinergic properties, also slow intestinal transit time, which may provide benefit in diarrhea-predominant IBS.

SSRIs vs TCAs , POSOLOGY The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) cause fewer side
effects than the TCAs, and a meta-‐analysis of the randomized, controlled trials in IBS has reported a global benefit of SSRIs with an NNT of 3.5
If an antidepressant is chosen for the treatment of IBS, low doses should
be administered initially and titrated to pain control or tolerance. Because of the delayed onset of action, three to four weeks of therapy should be attempted before considering treatment insufficient and increasing the dose.

Serotonin (5-‐HT) Serotonin (5-‐HT) is a key neurotransmitter and paracrine signaling molecule in the bidirectional
communication between the brain and the gut. Approximately 90% of 5-‐HT in the human body is produced within the gastrointestinal tract, where it is mainly synthesized by enterochromaffin cells, a subtype of enteroendocrine cells. The remaining 10% is present in the brain, where it represents an important neurotransmitter. Peripherally produced 5-‐HT does not substantially interfere with central 5-‐HT since 5-‐HT cannot cross the blood–brain barrier. 5-‐HT, whose activity is terminated by the serotonin reuptake transporter (SERT) located on enterocytes, activates multiple receptors (5-‐HT1-‐7) expressed primarily by different neurons supplying the gut, including extrinsic afferent sensory nerves (vagal and spinal) and intrinsic primary afferent neurons (limited comment about some of what is known of central serotonin and its relation to peripheral 5-‐HT might be made here). 5-‐ HT modulates visceral sensation via both 5-‐HT3 receptor and non 5-‐HT3 receptor-‐dependent mechanisms on vagal or spinal afferents. In the small intestine, 5-‐HT activates predominantly vagal fibers while activation of spinal afferents is relatively less. Conversely, in the colon, 5-‐HT has been shown to activate spinal afferents particularly via 5-‐HT3 receptors.
The 5-‐HT3 receptor antagonist, alosetron, inhibits spinal cord c-‐fos expression in response to noxious colorectal distension , suggesting that 5-‐HT plays a role in the transmission of noxious information within the spinal cord.

We found 14 eligible randomized controlled trials of alosetron (n = 3024) or cilansetron (n = 1116) versus placebo (n = 3043) or mebeverine (n = 304).
Random-‐effects meta-‐analyses found 5-‐HT(3) antagonists more effective than the comparators in � achieving global improvement in IBS symptoms (pooled relative risk, 1.60; 95% confidence
interval [CI], 1.49-‐1.72; I(2) = 0%) � relief of abdominal pain and discomfort (pooled relative risk, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.22-‐1.39; I(2) = 22%). Nine patients (0.2%) using 5-‐HT(3) antagonists had possible ischemic colitis versus none in control
groups. CONCLUSIONS: 5-‐HT(3) antagonists significantly improve symptoms of D-‐IBS in men and
women. There is an increased risk of constipation with 5-‐HT(3) antagonists, although the risk is lower in those with D-‐IBS

Because the drug was associated with ischemic colitis and serious complications related to severe constipation, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) removed it from the market in the United States , then it was returned to the U.S. market, It was the first drug ever returned to the U.S. market after withdrawal for safety concerns.
An article published in the BMJ noted: "By allowing the marketing of alosetron, a drug that poses a serious and significant public health concern according to its own terms, the FDA failed in its mission

Keto<fen (Mast-‐cell stabilizer) BACKGROUND: Mast cell activation is thought to be involved in visceral hypersensitivity, one of the
main characteristics of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) METHODS: 60 patients with IBS underwent a barostat study to assess rectal sensitivity before and
after 8 weeks of treatment. After the initial barostat, patients were randomised to receive ketotifen or placebo. IBS symptoms and health-‐related quality of life were scored.
RESULTS: Ketotifen but not placebo increased the threshold for discomfort in patients with IBS with visceral hypersensitivity. Ketotifen significantly decreased abdominal pain and other IBS symptoms and improved quality of life.
CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that ketotifen increases the threshold for discomfort in patients with IBS with visceral hypersensitivity, reduces IBS symptoms and improves health-‐related quality of life.

A recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial assessed the effect of mesalazine on intestinal immune cells and symptom perception in patients with IBS. Mesalazine markedly reduced mucosal immune cells and mast cells in particular, compared to placebo. In addition, mesalazine significantly improved general well-being. Mesalazine may enhance epithelial barrier function, and preliminary data suggest that it may alter faecal bacterial profiles in IBS patients. Nevertheless, the exact mechanism through which this drug affects immune activation in the intestine of patients with IBS remains unknown

An<bio<cs As the microbiota may be disturbed in functional GI disorders, a
potential treatment approach is to try to correct dysbiosis either by
the administration of an antibiotic
Despite evidence that previous antibiotic use may be related to the development of IBS, and the fact
that antibiotic treatment may increase the development of long-‐term digestive symptoms after
bacterial gastroenteritis, poorly absorbable antibiotics might still have therapeutic potential in
this condition. There are three fully-‐published, double blind, placebo controlled trials of rifaximin
in FBD and the data suggest an improvement in symptoms, especially bloating and flatulence for
approximately 10 weeks following treatment.
Intestinal microbiota in functional bowel disorders: a Rome foundation report. Simrén, Barbara et al Gut 2013.
Rifaximin In two identically designed, phase 3, double-‐blind, placebo-‐controlled trials (TARGET 1 and TARGET
2), patients who had IBS without constipation were randomly assigned to either rifaximin at a dose of 550 mg or placebo, three times daily for 2 weeks, and were followed for an additional 10 weeks.
RESULTS: Significantly more patients in the rifaximin group than in the placebo group had adequate relief of global IBS symptoms during the first 4 weeks after treatment (40.8% vs. 31.2%, P=0.01, in TARGET 1; 40.6% vs. 32.2%, P=0.03, in TARGET 2; 40.7% vs. 31.7%, P<0.001, in the two studies combined). Similarly, more patients in the rifaximin group than in the placebo group had adequate relief of bloating (39.5% vs. 28.7%, P=0.005, in TARGET 1; 41.0% vs. 31.9%, P=0.02, in TARGET 2; 40.2% vs. 30.3%, P<0.001, in the two studies combined).
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients who had IBS without constipation, treatment with
rifaximin for 2 weeks provided significant relief of IBS symptoms, bloating, abdominal pain, and loose or watery stools.

Management RecommendaKons for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
� Make a positive diagnosis based on symptoms and the absence of alarm features
� Determine if there is a comorbid psychiatric disease or an unresolved major loss or trauma.
� Provide education, including an understandable explanation of why symptoms might arise, emphasizing that the patient is not alone in his or her suffering and the prognosis is benign.
� Provide firm reassurance, emphasizing that the symptoms are known to be real (not just “in the patient's head”) and that irritable bowel syndrome is a recognized bowel disease.
� Set realistic treatment goals. � Organize a continuing care strategy if symptoms have been chronic or
disabling. � Consider psychological treatments for patients with moderate to severe
symptoms. Irritable bowel syndrome, a little understood organic bowel disease? Talley N. Spiller RC
