Vibrating capsules:an innovative non-drug treatment for chronic constipation
Chronic constipation is a common digestive tract disease with complex pathophysiological mechanism,and it has a high prevalence both domestically and internationally.The current treatment methods mainly include drugs,sur-gery,biofeedback therapy,diet and lifestyle.However,the treatment results are often unsatis factory and pose signifi-cant challenging in clinical practice.Vibrating capsule is a new type of capsule with vibration function,which can stim-ulate the intestinal wall to promote intestinal peristalsis,thereby relieving or treating chronic constipation.Compared with drug therapy,the capsule has higher safety and less side effects.However,at present,its research time is relatively short,and more in-depth exploration and research on manufacturing technology and clinical trials are still needed,both domestically and abroad.This article reviewed the epidemiology,classification and pathogenesis of chronic constipation,and the research process and efficacy of vibration capsules.
