FECAL INCONTINENCE

This study is testing whether injections of a person's own muscle cells can help repair the anal sphincter muscle and improve bowel control. Researchers will enroll 10 adults with long-term fecal incontinence who haven't been helped by standard treatments. The goal is to see if t…

This early study tests a device called UCon that delivers gentle electrical stimulation through the skin to calm overactive bladder and bowel muscles. The goal is to reduce urgent, frequent bathroom trips and leakage. About 20 women will try the device to see if it is safe and im…

This study tests botulinum toxin (Botox) injections into the rectum to help people with fecal incontinence who haven't improved with standard treatments. Researchers want to understand how the injections affect bowel muscle contractions and identify which patients benefit most. T…

This study looks at two home-based treatments for fecal incontinence (accidental bowel leakage). One group uses electrical stimulation alone; the other adds active squeezing of the anal muscles during stimulation. The goal is to see which approach better reduces leakage and impro…

This study tests whether short-term, non-invasive genital nerve stimulation can improve bowel function in people with spinal cord injury. About 52 adults with a spinal injury at or above T12 will have their rectal and anal activity measured with and without stimulation. The goal …

This study looks at how the muscles that help control bowel movements work and get tired. Researchers want to see if doing special exercises can make these muscles stronger and reduce bowel leakage. The study includes healthy people and those with fecal incontinence, all aged 18 …

This study aims to collect electrical signals from the body in people with overactive bladder, accidental bowel leakage, or trouble emptying the bladder. Researchers will gather these signals at several points during the standard therapy evaluation period. The goal is to learn mo…

This study aims to better understand how the anal muscles work in healthy people and those with fecal incontinence. Researchers will use a device called Fecobionics, which looks and feels like real stool, to measure pressures and angles inside the rectum during simulated bowel mo…
