Therapy of irritable bowel syndrome is disappointing. Since irritable gut (IG) accounts for 20-40% of all consultations, an investigation was carried out in IG patients treated by relaxation and its effect on the number of consultations, attacks of pain, and psychological profile (MMPI) after a period of time. A control group (C) received conventional treatment. The relaxation group (R) was treated simultaneously for a 6-month period. The number of consultations in the C patients was 53 before and 41 after conventional treatment. Consultations in the R group fell from 74 before to 6 after relaxation therapy. Two-monthly attacks of pain in the R group fell to zero, while there was no change in the C group on this score. The MMPI changes are original and worth stressing. The improvement immediately, and 40 months, after the relaxation course was significant.
肠易激综合征的治疗效果令人失望。由于肠易激（IG）占所有会诊病例的20% - 40%，因此对接受放松疗法治疗的IG患者进行了一项调查，观察一段时间后其对会诊次数、疼痛发作以及心理状况（明尼苏达多相人格调查表，MMPI）的影响。一个对照组（C）接受常规治疗。放松组（R）同时接受为期6个月的治疗。C组患者在常规治疗前的会诊次数为53次，治疗后为41次。R组的会诊次数从放松疗法前的74次降至6次。R组每两个月的疼痛发作次数降至零，而C组在这方面没有变化。MMPI的变化很独特，值得强调。在放松疗程结束时以及40个月后都有显著改善。
