About this trial
This cross-sectional, observational, controlled comparative study aims to investigate the relationship between interoception and postural control in individuals with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) and to compare the findings with those of healthy individuals. Interoception will be assessed using the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness-2 (MAIA-2), postural characteristics will be evaluated using the Corbin Posture Analysis, and stool type in the IBS-C group will be assessed using the Bristol Stool Scale.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Interoceptive Awareness
Interoceptive awareness will be assessed using the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness, Version 2 (MAIA-2), a 37-item self-report questionnaire with 8 subscales (Noticing, Not-Distracting, Not-Worrying, Attention Regulation, Emotional Awareness, Self-Regulation, Body Listening, Trusting). Each item is rated from 0 (never) to 5 (always), and the unit of measure is the mean score of each subscale (range 0 to 5). Higher scores indicate better interoceptive awareness.
Time frame
Baseline (single assessment at study enrollment).2
Postural Characteristics
Posture will be assessed by an examiner using the Corbin Posture Analysis, an observational posture evaluation in which body segments are rated against a standard postural alignment. The unit of measure is the total posture score (range: 0 to 20). Higher scores indicate worse posture.
