First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new device called Fecobionics that measures how the rectum and anus work during bowel movements. Researchers want to see if it can predict which patients with a type of constipation called dyssynergia will benefit from biofeedback therapy. About 24 adults will be enrolled to test the device's accuracy.
