| description | Introduction
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent condition involving the gut–brain interaction where
individuals commonly experience recurring abdominal pain, changes in bowel movements, and
frequently bloating.
Aim
The aim of this study was to review literature studies on IBS and non-pharmacological methods for
treating this condition.
Method
Data for the article were retrieved by using Pub Med setting the time descriptor to 2019-2024.
Conclusions
Treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) continues to be challenging, as each patient needs a
tailored approach. Once the correct IBS subtype is diagnosed, treatment should target the primary
symptoms, such as bloating or diarrhea. Non-pharmacological treatment plays a initial, crucial and
rapidly developing role in IBS therapy.
