Markers for visceral hypersensitivity in patients with irritable bowel syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a heterogenous disorder with visceral hypersensitivity as important hallmark. It is not known whether IBS patients with visceral hypersensitivity have different epidemiological and clinical characteristics compared with IBS patients without visceral hypersensitivity. Aim of our study was to compare in detail a large group of hyper‐ vs normosensitive IBS patients with respect to epidemiological and clinical characteristics.
