First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study tested whether injecting botulinum toxin (like Botox) into the rectum can reduce episodes of accidental bowel leakage and urgent bathroom needs in people with fecal incontinence. Researchers enrolled 200 adults whose condition did not improve with standard treatments. The goal was to see if these injections could improve quality of life with few side effects, though any benefit is expected to be temporary.
