    Our study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of loratadine in a clinical trial study with 100 patients. According to the coronavirus pandemic, our sampling got into trouble, Our hospital was the COVID-19 patient admission center, on the other hand, most patients didn't get serious their IBS-D disease during the COVID-19 pandemic, so referrals to our GI clinic reduced significantly. Finally, the number of participants had the study inclusion criteria reduced to 40 patients in a year and a half, According to this situation, we request to register our study as a randomized pilot clinical trial Because of our time limitation, if appropriate.

    همانطور که مستحضرید هدف ما انجام یک کارآزمایی بالینی با تعداد 100 بیمار با موضوع ذکر شده بوده است، اما با توجه به شیوع ویروس کرونا و کاهش چشمگیر مراجعات به درمانگاه گوارش، نمونه گیری ما با مشکل مواجه گردید. بیمارستان مدنظر مرکز بستری بیماران کرونا بوده و از آنجا که بیماری IBS بیماری حادی نیست و بیماران مبتلا در شرایط کرونا این بیماری را جدی نمی گرفتند با کاهش شدید مراجعات به درمانگاه گوارشی واقع در این بیمارستان مواجه شدیم. نهایتا در مدت زمان تعیین شده12 ماه (به همراه 6 ماه زمان مجدد جهت افزایش تعداد نمونه ها)، تعداد بیمارانی که شرایط ورود به مطالعه را داشتند به 40 نفر کاهش یافت که ازین تعداد 32 نفر همکاری لازم را داشتند و تا انتهای مطالعه ما را همراهی کردند. ازآنجا که این مطالعه یک پایان نامه دانشجویی بوده و با ادامه دادن آن و صرف زمان بیشتر با مشکل مواجه خواهیم شد و با توجه به شرایط پیش آمده درخواست دارم در صورت صلاحدید، کارآزمایی را به صورت مطالعه Randomized pilot clinical trial ثبت نمایید.
    This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT), In this study participants, the main researcher, clinicians ,the data collector , and the Data safety and Monitoring Committee are blinded. Participants are asked by the blinded clinician to eat the drug . All of the drugs are packaged the same, but some are the Loratadine tablets while others are Placebos. The blinded data collector collects data from patients every 2weeks. In the end, the Data collected from both groups are analyzed by data analyst.
