Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: IBS (Irritabel Bowel Syndrome) är en funktionell mag-tarmsjukdom, med en oklar patofysiologi och etiologi. IBS är en vanlig åkomma hos den västerländska befolkningen och karakteriseras av återkommande buksmärta/obehag, uppblåsthet, diarré och/eller förstoppning samt ökad gasbildning. Det finns idag inget botemedel för IBS, men intresset för probiotika som behandling vid IBS har på senare tid ökat. Probiotika, vilket definieras som levande mikroorganismer, som när de intas i adekvata mängder ger en hälsovinst hos värden tros ha en symptomatisk effekt vid IBS, och har därmed varit av intresse för behandling av IBS.

Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att undersöka om probiotika har någon terapeutisk effekt och kan användas som behandling vid IBS.

Metod: Fem randomiserade, dubbelblindade, placebo-kontrollerade studier granskades. De undersökte den terapeutiska effekten av varierande probiotika på IBS-patienter. Artiklarna erhölls genom sökningar i den medicinska databasen PubMed, under februari månad 2016.

Resultat: Av dessa fem studier visade fyra på en signifikant symptomförbättring av framförallt buksmärta/obehag. Bäst resultat sågs i en studie som undersökte probiotikan Lactobacillus plantarum 299v. Tre av fem studier visade på en signifikant förbättring av testpersonernas livskvalité. I endast en av studierna, som undersökte effekten av Escherichia coli Nissle 1917, påvisades ingen signifikant skillnad mellan E.coli (probiotika) och placebo.

Slutsats: Baserat på de fem studierna föreligger det i nuläget skäliga bevis för att en behandling med specifika probiotika kan ge symtomförbättring av buksmärta/obehag hos IBS-patienter, och förbättrar patienternas livskvalité. Vidare studier krävs för att fastställa den mest effektiva probiotikan, dosen och behandlingslängden.

Abstract [en]

Background: IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder, with an unclear etiology and pathophysiology. IBS is a common disorder in the Western population and is characterized by recurrent abdominal pain/ discomfort, bloating, flatulence, diarrhea and/ or constipation. There is currently no cure for IBS, but the interest in probiotics as an option of treatment has recently increased. Probiotics have been defined as live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, provide a health benefit on the host, and are believed to have a symptomatic effect in IBS. Probiotics have therefore been of interest for the treatment in IBS.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine whether probiotics have a therapeutic effect and if it could be used as a treatment for IBS.

Method: Five randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies were reviewed that examined the therapeutic effect of different probiotics in the IBS-patients. Articles were obtained through searches in the medical database PubMed, during the month of February 2016.

Results: Four of the five studies showed a significant improvement of symptoms especially in abdominal pain/ discomfort. The best results were seen in a study that investigated the probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum 299v. Three of the five studies showed a significant improvement in quality of life (QOL) of the subjects in the study. One of the five studies which examined the effect of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917, there was no significant difference between E.coli (probiotics) and placebo.

Conclusion: There is reasonable evidence that treatment with certain probiotics might provide improvement in symptoms of abdominal pain/ discomfort, and increase patients quality of life based on the five studies. Further studies are required to determine the most effective probiotic, dose and duration of IBS-treatment.
