Mechano-physiological Approach to Anorectal Function

NCT00219518 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 17

Last updated 2018-05-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We hypothesize that defecatory disorders can be described in mechanical terms which would allow a mechanistic description of disorders which would in turn allow better directed biofeedback mechanisms to treat disorders of defecation.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

defecography

insertion of catheter to record pressure. Insertion of barium to outline rectum and fluoroscopy to define change in rectal contour and expulsion of barium during the study.
