A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to establish a prospective database to verify previous findings regarding faecal incontinence (FI) and double incontinence (DI) by comparing various associated factors among affected individuals and controls. It will evaluate the prevalence of neurological disorders, surgical history, and other potential risk factors, alongside the impact of these conditions on quality of life. Participants will complete disease-specific questionnaires to assess the severity of their incontinence and its effects on their daily lives. The study will utilize high-resolution anorectal manometry to gather detailed physiological data.
