Summary
This study tests whether adding a single, non-invasive biofeedback session to home Kegel exercises can improve bowel control, reduce emotional distress, and enhance quality of life in people who have had rectal cancer surgery. About 66 participants will be randomly assigned to either Kegel exercises alone or Kegel exercises plus one biofeedback session. The goal is to see if the combined approach leads to better outcomes for common post-surgery bowel issues like urgency and incontinence.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Kegel exercise with biofeedback
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, non-invasive way to improve bowel control and emotional well-being for people struggling with bowel problems after rectal cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The biofeedback is given just once, which may not be enough to make a lasting difference.
