Abstract in brief

  • This study tested whether magnesium oxide (MgO) helps Japanese women with mild to moderate chronic constipation, finding it improved bowel movements, stool form, colonic transit time, and quality of life compared to a placebo.
  • The results showed that around 70% of patients taking MgO had overall improvement, significantly better than 25% in the placebo group, and MgO also increased spontaneous bowel movements and improved stool form and transit time.
  • However, MgO didn’t significantly increase complete spontaneous bowel movement response rates, but it was effective in making bowel movements better and quicker, suggesting it’s a beneficial treatment for managing chronic constipation.]

答え：2019年 https://t.co/b0WYNBNKiX 古くから使用されている薬では臨床試験が実施されていないことがあります。承認プロセスが未成熟だったこともありますが、実臨床での実績があるためです。 一方で、改めて臨床試験を実施したところ効果がないこともあります。いずれにせよ盲信には注意です。
