Summary

This study tested whether a telerehabilitation-based exercise program, along with a constipation education booklet, could reduce constipation symptoms and improve quality of life. Thirty-two adults with constipation took part. The approach used remote video sessions to guide exercise and education, aiming to make treatment more accessible and convenient.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
telerehabilitation-based exercise training and constipation education booklet
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a convenient, home-based way to manage constipation symptoms and improve quality of life without needing in-person visits.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise and education may not help all types of constipation.
