Over-the-counter and prescription medicines reduce symptoms in fewer than 50% of IBS patients.1 That’s why many people living with IBS are looking for more from their current treatment plan. What if you could treat your IBS pain on your own terms?
For nearly four decades, gut-directed hypnotherapy has helped patients find relief from IBS.2 The problem is, few therapists are trained in gut-directed hypnotherapy and therefore patients don’t have access to treatment.3 Now Regulora puts gut-directed hypnotherapy into the palm of your hand.
Regulora is the first and only app cleared by the FDA in the U.S. for abdominal pain caused by IBS, and Health Canada has authorized Launchit DTx to provide Regulora in Canada.
