FECAL INCONTINENCE

This study is testing whether injecting tiny pieces of a patient's own muscle tissue can help repair and strengthen the anal sphincter muscle in people with fecal incontinence. Researchers hope these muscle fragments will grow and connect with existing nerves and blood vessels to…

This study is testing a new device called Fecobionics, which acts like an electronic simulated stool, to better understand how the body controls bowel movements. Researchers will use the device in 155 adults, including both healthy volunteers and people with fecal incontinence, t…

This early study is testing a small, implanted electrode called UCon to see if it's safe and can help reduce symptoms of overactive bladder and bowel dysfunction. The device is placed under the skin and works by gently stimulating a nerve to calm overactive muscles. The study wil…

This study is testing whether a daily exercise routine using a special balloon device can strengthen the muscles that control bowel movements. Researchers want to see if making these muscles work against resistance until they tire (fatigue) will make them stronger over six weeks.…

This study is investigating whether gently stimulating genital nerves with external electrodes can help improve bowel control in people living with spinal cord injuries. Researchers will measure how the rectum and anus function with and without stimulation in 52 participants to s…

This study aims to understand how botulinum toxin (Botox) injections in the rectum help people with fecal incontinence (bowel leakage). Researchers will measure bowel muscle activity in 21 adults before and after the injections to see how the treatment works. The goal is to learn…

This study aims to collect body signals from people who are already scheduled to get a Medtronic InterStim device implanted. The device uses mild electrical pulses to help control overactive bladder, urinary retention, or fecal incontinence. Researchers will record signals from t…
