- Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disease and its etiology is still uncertain and not much information available concerning cardiovascular reflexes signifying changes in autonomic nerve functions in IBS. The aim of the present study therefore was to study autonomic nerve functions by testing cardiovascular reflexes in patients of IBS. An attempt was made to assess the response in various clinical varieties of IBS and to study if any autonomic change present has some correlation with duration of IBS. Material and method: This study was carried out on 30 patients of Irritable bowel syndrome and 30 healthy individuals as a control group. Diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome was made by exclusion criteria and Rome IV criteria. The five tests were performed to assess the cardiovascular responses to autonomic nerve functions in patients of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and control group. Results: Symptoms of autonomic irritability noted in IBS patients which may be due to anxiety and tension states and that aspect is to be evaluated separately. Results of five cardiovascular reflexes performed in patients of IBS were statistically insignificant (P˃0.1). Conclusion: No evidence of autonomic neuropathy in IBS patients was seen neither any impairment of the cardiovascular response to various autonomic tests was present with increasing duration of disease or with advancing age in irritable bowel syndrome patients.
