Swallowing a vibrating capsule can alleviate the symptoms of constipation by stimulating stomach contractions and speeding up digestion.. This is another type of so-called bioengineering medicine..

Scientists are working on a special vibrating capsule designed to treat chronic constipation.. This type of medication creates vibrations in the colon that stimulate the contraction of the stomach and help digestion processes.. The capsule itself is no larger than traditional fish oil pills, it should be taken 5 times a week so that the number of bowel movements in victims of constipation doubled, according to a study. If larger-scale trials confirm the effectiveness of this device and its safety, then it may be available in pharmacies within three years, as American experts believe..

Study participants took 5 tablets per week for two months.. Each capsule was drunk right before going to bed.. Half of the volunteers received real capsules that contained electrical mechanisms programmed to create vibrations at different frequencies after reaching the large intestine, and the second half - a placebo.

It is reported that these capsules are created by one of the Israeli companies, they vibrate once or twice in 2.5 hours for 24 hours after swallowing.

Then these devices, another type of bioengineering medicine, leave the body on their own in about a couple of days.. Previously, another team of researchers developed an implantable biodegradable device with which you can heal nerves after injury.. It also self-dissolves in the body by doing its work..
