“…IBS is essentially a clinical diagnosis confirmed by appropriate radiological and laboratory investigations 3,4 . Abnormal personality profiles have been described in many of these patients, especially in relation to depression, anxiety, neuroticism, introversion and somatisation of affect 5‐10 . Premorbid personality may be normal 11 , although a majority of patients can associate symptoms with stress 12,5,13 , suggesting that symptoms result from a quantitative departure from the psychophysiological reaction of healthy persons in times of stress.…”

SummarySingle sex representation and birth order in 100 patients with the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) were determined and compared with those of 100 age and sex matched controls. Single sex members, in families with three or more children, were significantly more frequent in IBS. There was a trend for more IBS sufferers to be at the extremes of sibling constellation, particularly the youngest, but this did not reach statistical significance. These findings have not been previously reported.

Forty patients with irritable bowel syndrome were assigned at random to four treatment conditions (two experimental groups: training in stress management and training in contingency management; and two control groups: medical treatment and placebo). In each of the groups (N = 10), care was taken to ensure that half the cases were suitable for training in stress management due to the respondent nature of the illness in these cases and the other half suitable for training in contingency management due to the operant nature of their problem. The patients underwent six individual sessions of specific treatment according to the condition. All of the subjects completed symptom‐monitoring diaries. In the post‐treatment, a MANOVA of mixed factorial design was carried out to analyse the interaction between the suitability of the patient and the type of treatment for the global value of the symptomatology and for each symptom. The results showed that statistically significant changes occurred depending on the interaction between suitability‐treatment p < 0.1) and on the type of treatment (p < 0.05). The clinical changes recorded by the gastroenterologist were maintained after a year. An analysis is made of the behavioural predictors of the resolution of the patients according to suitability and the type of treatment. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
