FECAL INCONTINENCE

This study is testing whether injections of a person's own muscle cells can help repair the anal sphincter muscle and improve bowel control. Researchers will enroll 10 adults with long-term fecal incontinence who haven't been helped by standard treatments. The goal is to see if t…

This study tests a non-invasive method called genital nerve stimulation to see if it can improve bowel control in people with spinal cord injury. About 52 adults with a spinal injury at or above T12 will take part. Researchers will measure how the rectum and anus respond to stimu…

This early study tests a device called UCon that uses mild electrical pulses through the skin to calm overactive bladder and bowel muscles. About 20 women with symptoms like sudden urges, frequent bathroom trips, or leakage will try it. The goal is to see if it's safe and can cut…

This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin into the rectum can help people with fecal incontinence who haven't improved with standard treatments. About 21 adults will receive the injections and be monitored for changes in bowel muscle activity and symptom severity. The go…

This study aims to collect electrical signals from the body in people with overactive bladder, fecal incontinence, or urinary retention. Researchers will gather these signals at several points during the therapy evaluation period. The goal is to better understand these conditions…

This study looks at how the muscles that help control bowel movements get tired and how they can be strengthened. Researchers will test if doing resisted exercises can make these muscles stronger and improve symptoms of fecal incontinence. The study includes both healthy voluntee…

This study aims to better understand how the anal muscles work in healthy people and those with fecal incontinence. Researchers will use a device called Fecobionics, which looks and feels like real stool, to measure pressures and angles during simulated bowel movements. The goal …
