Can a simple daily washout tame Post-Cancer bowel chaos?
NCT ID NCT07219745
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a daily transanal irrigation (TAI) routine can help people who have bowel urgency, leakage, and diarrhea after rectal cancer surgery (low anterior resection syndrome). Sixty adults who have had a temporary ileostomy and are about to have it closed will either receive TAI training plus standard care or standard care alone. The main goal is to see if a larger trial is feasible, while also checking if TAI improves quality of life and bowel function in the first year after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Peristeen Plus Irrigation kit (device for transanal irrigation)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a larger trial and potentially a simple daily routine to help people regain bowel control after rectal cancer surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study (60 people) to see if a bigger trial is even possible. It is not yet testing whether the treatment truly works, and results may not apply to everyone.
