Pre-Surgery pelvic floor training may prevent devastating bowel issues in rectal cancer patients
NCT ID NCT03876561
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether doing pelvic floor exercises with biofeedback before rectal cancer surgery could prevent a condition called Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS), which causes bowel control problems like leakage and urgency. The study planned to include 120 adults aged 18-80 who needed rectal cancer surgery. However, the study was terminated early, so results are limited.
