Osteopathic Visceral Manipulation on Functional Constipation in Obese Adults
Osteopathic Visceral Manipulation on Functional Constipation in Obese Adults: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Apr 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Functional constipation in obese adults is a prevalent gastrointestinal issue characterized by infrequent bowel movements, difficulty during defecation, or a sensation of incomplete evacuation. Obesity is a significant risk factor for functional constipation due to several physiological and lifestyle-related factors. Excess body weight, particularly in the abdominal region, may exert pressure on the colon, leading to disrupted bowel function. Additionally, dietary habits common among obese individuals, such as low fiber intake and inadequate hydration, can worsen constipation. Sedentary lifestyles further contribute to reduced gastrointestinal motility. Addressing functional constipation in obese adults requires a multifaceted approach, including dietary modifications to increase fiber and fluid intake, regular physical activity, and, in some cases, medical interventions to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
