Study probes hidden mental toll of chronic constipation disorder
NCT ID NCT06128031
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether people with dyssynergic defecation—a condition where the pelvic muscles don't relax properly during bowel movements—are more likely to have psychiatric disorders like anxiety or depression. Researchers will compare 148 patients to healthy volunteers using psychiatric interviews and quality-of-life surveys. The goal is to understand how this bowel disorder affects mental well-being and daily life.
