Summary

This study tests whether an 8-week physiotherapy program — including breathing exercises, pelvic floor training, and core stabilization — can improve bowel function in 20 children aged 5–18 who have had surgery for Hirschsprung's disease. Participants will keep a bowel diary and be assessed for constipation using Rome IV criteria. The goal is to see if physical therapy can reduce symptoms like incontinence and constipation after surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
physiotherapy (breathing exercises, pelvic floor muscle training, stabilization exercises, patient education, lifestyle recommendations)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to ease bowel symptoms and improve quality of life for children after Hirschsprung surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study (20 children) with no control group, so results may not be generalizable. It focuses on symptom relief, not a cure.
