Summary

conservative management of functional constipation is a preferable method including biofeedback and spinal magnetic stimulation sessions

Conditions

  • Functional Constipation

Interventions

OTHER

spinal magnetic stimulation

* Biofeedback pelvic floor muscle training sessions will be performed for both groups for a total of 12 sessions. Menstruating women will be temporarily withdrawn from BF sessions till end of the menses. The session will last for 30 minutes of transrectal pressure biofeedback relaxation technique. Auditory and visual feedback will be provided in addition to positive verbal reinforcement. * Sham SMS will be used in the Sham group using the placebo program in the magnetic stimulation machine. * Spinal magnetic stimulation using the Neuro-MS/D machine. It will be used in spinal magnetic stimulation group, circular coil will be used to stimulate S2,3 and 4 sacral roots. Intensities will be adjusted to 50-70 % of maximal output (2.2 Tesla), stimulation frequency will be fixed at 20 Hz, burst length = 5 seconds, inter-burst interval = 25 seconds.
