Abstract:Irritable bowel syndrome is a common global disorder characterized by chronic abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. Constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C), a subtype of IBS, is marked by chronic recurrent abdominal pain, bloating, or discomfort accompanied by difficult defecation. As its pathogenesis remains unclear, pharmacological treatments primarily involving laxatives often yield suboptimal results in alleviating symptoms and reducing recurrence. In recent years, experts worldwide have increasingly emphasized non-pharmacological interventions for IBS-C. These approaches can effectively improve gastrointestinal symptoms, decrease the frequency of episodes, and some therapies may also ameliorate associated anxiety and depression. This article reviews the current status of non-pharmacological therapies for IBS-C, providing an analysis of research advances in modulating gut microbiota, brain–gut axis behavioral therapy, external therapies of traditional Chinese medicine, and the low-FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) diet, aiming to offer a reference for the non-pharmacological management of IBS-C.
