Filter by:This study is planned to evaluate the efficacy of complex conservative treatment (including tibial neuromodulation, biofeedback therapy, special pelvic floor training and diet modification) in women with pelvic organ prolapse
Develop a registry (list of patients) with accurate clinical motility diagnosis. This registry will help the doctors to identify the patients with specific disease conditions. It will also help in promoting future research in gastroenterology motility disorders
Constipation is one of the most common complications in patients with advanced cancer. The aim of this protocol designed as a double-blind randomized controlled trial is to investigate the efficacy of laser acupuncture (LA) therapy on constipation in patients with advanced cancer.
Although surgical options for slow transit constipation (STC) have been proven to be a definite treatment, improvements in the associated defecation function and quality of life are rarely studied. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of total or subtotal colectomy, with respect to short- and long-term defecation function and overall quality of life in 5-year regular follow-up.
The aim of the study is to collect data for the assessment of the Lactobacillus casei DG (Enterolactis ®duo) effect on constipation and on neuropsychological performance
In the present randomised double blind controlled study, the investigators will study the effects of oligosaccharides vs a placebo on the change in stool consistency and stool frequency in children with functional constipation.
Postoperative constipation affects up to a third of women undergoing minimally invasive (MIS) gynecologic surgery and is a major source of anxiety and discomfort. The average time to first bowel movement after gynecologic surgery is about 2 to 4 days and some factors responsible for this include anesthesia inhibitory effect on gastrointestinal motility, opioid pain medication use, chronic NSAID use and anatomic manipulation. There are no established regimens to manage postoperative constipation after minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Two studies evaluating the implementation of postoperative bowel regimen with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and with Senna and Docusate found no significant impact on postoperative bowel function. There have been no studies looking at the effect of preoperative bowel regimens on postoperative bowel function. The purpose of this study is to evaluate postoperative bowel function after minimally invasive hysterectomy in women receiving a preoperative 10-day bowel regimen of PEG daily.
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.
Terminal constipation affects 13 to 20% of the french population. Anismus is defined by an absence of relaxation or a paradoxical contraction of the striated anal sphincter muscle during defecation. Anismus is one of the main causes of terminal constipation. Anismus diagnosis is retained if 2 out of 3 examinations (manometry, electromyogram, defecography) are positive. EndoFLIP® is a new medical device developed to measure distensibility of a hollow organ. Anal EndoFLIP® l could be a more sensitive and specific tool for detecting anismus in patients with distal constipation. 60 patients suffering from distal constipation will be included in order to perform, in addition to the usual examinations, an anal EndoFlip in order to test the sensitivity and specificity of this method for the diagnosis of anismus.
