Summary
This study compares two laxatives, Senna and polyethylene glycol (PEG), to see which better reduces accidental bowel leakage in children with long-term constipation. About 80 children aged 4 to 18 will take one of the two medicines daily for 3 months, and neither the families nor doctors will know which one is given. The goal is to find a more effective treatment for this common and distressing condition.
