Figure 1 Visceral sensation thresholds to rectal distension stimulation.
A: The first sensation threshold showed no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.315). B: The score of the defecating sensation threshold was significantly decreased in the patients (P = 0.032). C: The maximum tolerable threshold was also lower in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with predominant diarrhea than in controls (P < 0.001). Box means the interquartile range; line inside the boxes indicates the median; the two whiskers indicate the 5th percentile and 95th percentile of the data. aP < 0.05 vs healthy control (HC); bP < 0.01 vs HC. IBS-D: Irritable bowel syndrome with predominant diarrhea; HC: Healthy control.
