Published Studies Related to Bentyl (Dicyclomine)
Dose effect of dicyclomine on the reduction of peristaltic artifacts on MRI of the abdomen. [1999.07] BACKGROUND: It has been demonstrated that oral administration of dicyclomine significantly reduces the noise associated with the movement of the gastrointestinal tract in abdominal magnetic resonance (MR) images. Our objective was to determine the efficacy and security of two different doses of oral dicyclomine for the reduction of the gastrointestinal noise in abdominal MR imaging... CONCLUSION: Oral dicyclomine is effective and safe for the reduction of peristaltic artifacts on abdominal MR imaging. The dose of 20 mg presents an efficacy similar to that of 80 mg, with a probably lower incidence of adverse reactions.
Dietary modifications versus dicyclomine hydrochloride in the treatment of severe infantile colics. [1994.02] This study examined 120 infants, aged 3-12 weeks, with severe colics and compared the results of a specific hypoallergenic diet (group A) with those of pharmacological treatment (group B). Non-breast-fed group A infants received soy milk and if unresponsive, hydrolyzed milk formulas; mothers of breast-fed infants received a diet without cow's milk, eggs or fish...
Dicyclomine, an M1 muscarinic antagonist, reduces biomarker levels, but not neuronal degeneration, in fluid percussion brain injury. [2008.11] Recent studies indicate that alphaII-spectrin breakdown products (SBDPs) have utility as biological markers of traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the utility of SBDP biomarkers for detecting effects of therapeutic interventions has not been explored...
Dicyclomine for medical management of persistent anal fissure with associated spasm of the internal sphincter. [1992.11] The case of a 43-year-old woman with persistent anal fissure responsive to dicyclomine is described... Surgery was avoided.
Antenatal exposure to doxylamine succinate and dicyclomine hydrochloride (Benedectin) in relation to congenital malformations, perinatal mortality rate, birth weight, and intelligence quotient score. [1977.07.01] PIP: The effects of doxylamine succinate (DAS) and dicylomin hydrochloride (DHC), each of which is contained in the drug Bendectin, administration during pregnancy on offspring was investigated in a prospective cohort study of 50,282 women and their offspring.
Clinical Trials Related to Bentyl (Dicyclomine)
Ondansetron VS Doxylamine and Pyridoxine in Treating Nausea of Pregnancy [Completed]
Our purpose is to determine whether ondansetron, a commonly used antiemetic, is equivalent
in efficacy to the combination of pyridoxine and doxylamine, the currently recommended first
line therapy for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy by the American Congress of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists (ACOG). Since both treatments are safe in pregnancy, many physicians are
using ondansetron as first line in practice. Despite this practice and the recommendations
from ACOG, there is not data to suggest that ether practice is superior. This will be the
first prospective, randomized, double blind, controlled trial comparing the two treatments.
We hypothesize that ondansetron will be equally efficacious in reducing nausea and episodes
of emesis. By alleviating nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy, patients will
likely benefit from less Emergency Department visits, urgent clinic visits, and admissions
for progression to hyperemesis gravidarum.
