The selected patients will be enrolled. The experimental device (BTM-1200, Bion-Tech, Gyeonggi-do, Korea) will be installed at each patient's house. The researcher will instruct patients drinking method. The patients will drink a total of 20 mL/kg of body weight/day of EHARW (pH 9.5) in 3-different times, and drink directly from the device on an empty stomach for 4 weeks. The clinical trial is conducted in a single group without a control group, and the efficacy is evaluated by comparing the symptoms of constipation pre- and post-intervention. The primary outcome is the proportion of responders based on frequency of complete complete spontaneous bowel movement (CSBM)."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '70 Years', 'minimumAge': '19 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Men and women aged 19 to 70 years old\n* Those who meet the criteria for Roma Ⅳ function constipation\n* Symptoms begin before 6 months and last for more than 3 months\n* Those who do not have organic lesions that may cause constipation\n* A patient who has personally signed the consent form\n* If all the criteria meet\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Those taking drugs such as opioid analgesics, antipsychotics, calcium blockers, and parasympathetic antagonists\n* Kidney disease (renal failure, potassium excretion disorder, etc.)\n* Patients with colon-related diseases (colon cancer, intestinal stenosis, rectal flow, anal fissure, rectal bleeding), diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, or anemia\n* Pregnant or lactating women\n* In addition to the above, those who are judged to be difficult to conduct research by the clinical trial director\n* Excluded if at least one of the above criteria meet'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT05734859', 'briefTitle': 'Drinking Effect of Electrolyzed Alkaline Reduced Water on Functional Constipation', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Wonju Severance Christian Hospital'}, 'officialTitle': 'A Pilot Study of Drinking Electrolyzed Hydrogen-rich Alkaline Reduced Water Generated by Alkaline Ionizer (BTM-1200) on the Chronic Functional Constipation', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'EMB-2022-03'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'EHARW Treatment group', 'description': "The experimental group will drink a total amount of 20 mL/ kg body weight/day of EHARW for 4 weeks on an empty stomach according to the researcher's instruction.", 'interventionNames': ['Device: Electrolyzed Alkaline Ionizer']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Electrolyzed Alkaline Ionizer', 'type': 'DEVICE', 'otherNames': ['BTM-1200'], 'description': 'Patients will drink EHARW calculated by 20 mL/kg body weight/day which can be divided into several times a day for drinking.
