Patient Information Sheets

There are five Participant Information Sheets for MODULATE which you can read to find out more about the trial. The best one to start with is the General information Sheet which covers the whole trial. The other four (Amitriptyline, Ondansetron, Loperamide and Low FODMAP Treatment Sheets) give information on the treatments involved in four of the five study arms.

General Participant Information Sheet

This information sheet is split into two parts:

  • Part 1 explains to the reader the purpose of the study and what will happen to patients who choose to take part
  • Part 2 will give the reader more detailed information about the conduct of the study and data protection
