Summary

Constipation can be classified into three main groups as constipation with normal transit time, constipation with slow transit time and dyssynergic defecation disorders.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Auricular vagus stimulation

When the nervus tibialis approaches the medial malleolus, it approaches the surface. In this study, bilateral transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) electrodes will be placed under the medial malleolus approximately at the point where the tibialis nerve contacts the surface.

DEVICE

Tibial Nerve Stimulation

When the nervus tibialis approaches the medial malleolus, it approaches the surface. In this study, bilateral transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) electrodes will be placed under the medial malleolus approximately at the point where the tibialis nerve contacts the surface.
