Abstract
Background: Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a chronic functional disorder of the gastrointestinal system. Patients experience abdominal pain and altered bowel habit, with either predominantly diarrhea, constipation , or both, The risk to develop irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) after cholecystectomy is 2.2 times higher than in general population. Purpose: To evaluate the effect of moderate intensity aerobic exercise training (60% MHR) (Treadmill Training) on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms and Quality of Life in post cholecystectomy patients. Methods: Thirty non-athletic post cholecystectomy patients complaining from Irritable Bowel Syndrome were recruited for this study; there age was ranged between 25 to 40 years, in the period between Oct 2017 and Feb 2019 from Kasr Al Ainy Hospital. Patients who met the selection criteria were divided randomly into two equal groups, group (A): They participated in 4 weeks of moderate intensity aerobic training program (60% MHR Treadmill Training) (3sessions per week) plus receiving medical treatment protocol, group (B) (Medical Treatment Group) received medical care only. Measurements: Irritable bowel syndrome was assessed by Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptom Severity Score(IBS-SSS) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality of Life (IBS-QOL) Instrument Assessment was carried out before treatment and after 4 weeks of treatment in both groups. Results: The result showed that there was a significant decrease in post treatment values of IBS-SSS and IBS-QOL in comparison to pretreatment values at both groups with (P-value < 0.001). Post treatment comparison between both groups showed significant difference in IBS-SSS and IBS-QOL variables, in favor of group A (Study group). Conclusion: Moderate intensity aerobic exercise training (60% MHR) (Treadmill Training) for 4 weeks is effective in treatment of IBS post cholecystectomy through reducing IBS symptoms and improving Quality of Life
