Abstract

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders in North America.

With few effective therapies available, there is a need for integrative approaches to symptom management. This report describes a successful case of using acupuncture and moxibustion to reduce symptoms of constipation-predominant IBS.
