Constipation survey gets a turkish makeover
NCT ID NCT07340203
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks if a Turkish translation of the Wexner Constipation Questionnaire works well for people with constipation. About 200 adults with functional constipation will fill out the questionnaire and a quality-of-life survey. Some will retake the Wexner after two weeks to see if results are consistent. The goal is to make sure the Turkish version is accurate and reliable for future use.
