Zapping nerves to help Kids' bowel control

NCT ID NCT04713085

Summary

This study tested whether stimulating nerves near the tailbone could help children and teenagers with severe, long-term constipation and fecal incontinence that didn't improve with standard treatments. Researchers compared two methods: a non-invasive skin patch and a minor surgical implant. They measured changes in bowel movements, pain, accidents, and quality of life over six months to see which approach worked better.
