NCT ID NCT07599527

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

Summary

This study looks at adults with severe constipation and an enlarged rectum (idiopathic megarectum) to see if the problem started in childhood. Researchers will compare 120 participants—some with the condition and some without—by asking about their early-life digestive health and environmental factors. The goal is to better understand what causes this rare condition, not to test a new treatment.
