Summary
This study aims to better understand chronic constipation by using a special device called Fecobionics, which acts like a simulated stool.

Researchers will study 130 healthy people and patients with constipation to learn how the rectum works during defecation. The goal is to improve diagnosis and develop better treatments for constipation.
