Swallow a vibrating capsule may relieve the symptoms of constipation by stimulating contractions of the stomach and accelerate digestion. It is another kind of so-called bioengineering medicine.
Scientists are working on a special vibrating capsuleintended for the treatment of chronic constipation. This kind of medication creates vibration in the colon, which stimulate contraction of the stomach and help the digestion. Itself capsule no larger than traditional pills with fish oil, it should be taken 5 times a week to ensure that the number of bowel movements, victims of constipation have doubled, the study showed. If larger scale trials to confirm the effectiveness of this device and its safety, it can be available in pharmacies in three years, as suggested by American experts.
Study participants took 5 pills a week for two months. Each capsule drank right before bedtime. Half of the volunteers received these capsules, which contain electrical mechanisms, programmed to create vibrations at different frequency after reaching the large intestine, and the other half a placebo. It is reported that these capsules creates one of the Israeli companies, they vibrate once or twice in 2.5 hours within 24 hours after ingestion.
Then these devices representing another form of bioengineering medicine, alone out from the body approximately a couple of days. Earlier, another team of researchers has developed a biodegradable implantable device, which you can use to heal nerves after injury. He also self dissolves in the body, doing its work. (READ MORE)
