Research

Mayo Clinic researchers investigate new treatment options for chronic constipation.

Mayo Clinic scientists in the Cellular and Molecular Physiology of Gastrointestinal Disorders Lab are studying how the body regulates the movement of food through the entire digestive system. They focus on gaining new knowledge about the biological processes that control digestion and the removal of waste from the body. The goal is to translate this new knowledge into better treatments.

The Enteric Neuroscience Program studies the nervous system's complex role in the work of the intestines. The work focuses on understanding causes of disorders and improving treatments. Also, the program's mission is to educate professionals who work as both doctors and researchers in this field.

Constipation

Research: It's all about patients

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joseph Sirven, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Mayo Clinic: Mayo's mission is about the patient. The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
