Summary

This study is creating a detailed database of 150 adults with faecal incontinence, some of whom also have urinary incontinence (double incontinence). Researchers will use questionnaires and a special anal pressure test to compare factors like diarrhea, surgeries, and nerve conditions between the two groups. The goal is to better understand what causes each type of incontinence and how it affects quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better understand why some people have faecal incontinence alone while others also have urinary incontinence, potentially guiding more personalized care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly improve symptoms, and the findings may not apply to everyone with incontinence.
