Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC) Understanding: Disease Overview

Chronic idiopathic constipation refers to a gastrointestinal condition characterized by long-term difficulty in passing stools, abdominal discomfort, and infrequent bowel movements. The exact cause of chronic idiopathic constipation is unknown. The symptoms of this condition may be exacerbated by lifestyle factors, such as a low-fiber diet, dehydration, lack of physical activity, and certain medications. The Rome IV criteria, which are widely used in diagnosing functional gastrointestinal disorders, are also used for identifying chronic idiopathic constipation. The condition is known to affect daily activities, mood, and overall well-being, leading to frustration, anxiety, and social discomfort. Early diagnosis and appropriate management can help the affected individuals improve symptoms and enhance their quality of life.

Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC) Epidemiology Perspective

The chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) epidemiology division offers information on the patient pool from history to the present as well as the projected trend for each of the 8 major markets. Expert Market Research provides both current and predicted trends for the chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) epidemiology scenario by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for the disease and their trends. The chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) detailed epidemiology segmentation is broken down into specific categories, such as the total diagnosed cases across different age groups and patient pools.

• A 2023 United States survey  found Rome IV chronic idiopathic constipation is more common (6.0%) than Rome IV opioid-induced constipation (1.7%) and opioid-exacerbated constipation (0.4%). 
• According to a population-based survey  on chronic constipation in the United States (2020), 3 out of 5 Americans with constipation have never discussed their symptoms with a healthcare provider, showing that most of the affected patients rely on over-the-counter treatments, with low use of prescription medications.
• As per Black, C. J., & Ford, A. C. (2018 ), chronic idiopathic constipation affects 14% of the population globally. It has three subtypes: normal transit constipation, slow transit constipation, and dyssynergic defecation, out of which normal transit constipation is the most common subtype.
• Various studies show that chronic idiopathic constipation affects 10% to 17% of the global population. The condition is more common in women and older adults and often leads to debilitating symptoms.

Country-wise Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC) Epidemiology Segment

The chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) epidemiology data and findings for the United States, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and India are also provided in the epidemiology section.

The epidemiology of chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) varies significantly between countries due to differences in diet, lifestyle, genetic predisposition, healthcare access, and diagnostic criteria. In the United States , around 35 million adults may experience chronic idiopathic constipation. It is reported to be more common in women (56%) and adults over 35 years (84%). Studies also reveal that Caucasians are more affected (82%) than other races and ethnicities.

Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC): Treatment Overview

Chronic idiopathic constipation is typically treated with a combination of medications, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, medical procedures. Over-the-counter laxatives, including osmotic laxatives (polyethylene glycol, lactulose), stimulant laxatives (bisacodyl, senna), and lubricant laxatives (mineral oil), are commonly used to treat the condition. Prescription medications such as prokinetic agents, 5-HT4 receptor agonists, and chloride channel activators are given to patients who do not respond to over-the-counter treatments. Advanced and alternative therapies include biofeedback therapy for patients with pelvic floor dysfunction, neuromodulation techniques (sacral nerve stimulation) for treatment-resistant cases, and surgery for severe, unresponsive chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC).
