  This study will try a small resistance balloon device to strengthen the anal and pelvic floor muscles in adults with weak anal sphincters or healthy volunteers to see if muscle contractility improves and fecal leakage decreases.

  Recruiting Medical College of Wisconsin · Milwaukee, Wisconsin · NCT06532123

• Non-instrumental biofeedback for fecal incontinence and constipation issues

  This study is testing if non-instrumental biofeedback techniques can help people with fecal incontinence and constipation feel better compared to a placebo.

  Recruiting Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute · Barcelona · NCT06273046

• Treatment of Overactive Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction with UCon Bar Electrode

  This study is testing a new device to see if it can help women with overactive bladder and bowel issues feel better by using electrical stimulation.

  Recruiting at 3 sites InnoCon Medical · Aarhus and 2 other locations · NCT06091566

• How intrarectal botulinum toxin injections affect rectal movement

  This trial tests whether intrarectal botulinum toxin injections help adults with active fecal incontinence who haven't improved with standard conservative treatments by studying how the toxin changes rectal movement.

  Recruiting Phase 3 University Hospital, Rouen · Rouen, France · NCT05998187

• Home biofeedback therapy for managing bowel and urinary issues

  This study is testing a new home therapy using a wireless device and a phone app to help people with bowel and urinary issues feel better and see if it's easier and cheaper than going to the doctor.

  Recruiting Augusta University · Augusta, Georgia · NCT05771597

• Genital nerve stimulation for bowel issues in spinal cord injury patients

  This study is testing if genital nerve stimulation can help people with spinal cord injuries who struggle with bowel control and fecal incontinence.

  Recruiting MetroHealth Medical Center · Cleveland, Ohio · NCT05626816

• Evaluating Fecobionics for Fecal Incontinence

  This study is testing a new technology called Fecobionics to see how well it can help understand and improve treatment for people with fecal incontinence by mimicking the way normal stool behaves.

  Recruiting The California Medical Innovations Institute, Inc. · San Diego, California and 1 other locations · NCT05412069

• Injections of muscle fiber fragments to treat fecal incontinence

  This study is testing if injecting muscle fiber fragments can help people with fecal incontinence by improving the strength and function of their anal sphincter muscle.
