Summary

Consipation is the most common digestive complaint in the general population. The normal frequency of defecation ranges from a minimum of three times a week to a maximum of two times a day.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Auricular vagus stimulation

Non-invasive transcutaneous devices stimulate the vagus nerve via the auricular or carotid artery. It is also used to treat various disorders such as epilepsy, pain and headache. This device stimulates the auricular branch of the vagus nerve non-invasively without any procedure. As a result, it has been found that the pain threshold increases and mechanical pain sensitivity decreases.

OTHER

Tibial Nerve Stimulation

The sacral plexus provides innervation of the perineal muscle. Its branches (lumbar 4-5 and sacral 1-3) merge to form the nervus ischiadicus, which then divides into two branches. The thick branch of the nervus ischiadicus is the nervus tibialis (lumbar 4-5 and sacral 1-3) and the thin branch is the nervus peroneus communis (lumbar 4-5 and sacral 1-2).
