Motility disorder of intestine

Last edited: 4/10/2026

Overview

Intestinal motility disorders are conditions affecting the normal movement of the gastrointestinal tract. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits, often linked to dysregulation of the gut-brain axis 1.

Diagnosis

  • Diagnostic criteria for IBS are established, often involving Rome criteria or similar frameworks 1.
  • Investigations should be guided by clinical suspicion and symptom severity 1.

    • Management

  • Lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes, are recommended 1.
  • Pharmacological treatments are available for symptom management 1.

    • Key Recommendations

  • Evidence-based practice guidelines for the management of IBS have been developed using a modified Delphi process 1.
  • Lifestyle modifications are a recommended component of IBS management 1.
  • The consensus achieved on diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, comorbidities, investigations, lifestyle modifications, and treatments for IBS may be useful for teaching, patient care, and research 1.
