Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy and safety of pinaverium and an herbal
medication for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Pinaverium has been in many countries, but
there is no randomized, double-blind, large sample size, and placebo-controlled study on this
medication yet. Tong Xie Yao Fang (Formula for pain and diarrhea) is a historically and
contemporarily used traditional Chinese medicine that can be used for IBS. The hypothesis is
that the two remedies are effective and safe for IBS treatment when tested by modern clinical
standards and criteria.
