Recruiting studies
- NCT07727837Recruiting
Pelvic floor health in children with poop problems
This trial looks at how defecation disorders (trouble pooping or soiling) in children affect their quality of life, walking, balance, and physical function. It aims to understand the links between these problems and the pelvic floor muscles.
Izmir, BornovaAges 6–18 - NCT06631001Recruiting
Abdominal massage for digestion in ICU patients on tube feeding
This study tests if gentle abdominal massage can improve digestion in intensive care patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving liquid food through a tube. It might help prevent gastrointestinal issues like bloating or slow digestion.
MersinAges 18 years+ - NCT07482696Recruiting
Biofeedback training for pelvic floor muscle issues in constipation
This trial tests whether electromyographic biofeedback therapy can help people who have trouble relaxing their pelvic floor muscles during bowel movements, a condition called dyssynergic defecation. It may improve chronic constipation and hard stools.
Kocaeli, IzmitAges 18–70 - NCT03842007Recruiting
Study of constipation symptoms and how bowel function works
This study looks at how normal bowel movements work, and what goes wrong in people with long-term constipation. It may help researchers better understand constipation causes, which can guide future treatments.

Small vs large volume rectal irrigation for constipation
This study compares two different ways of using a water-based treatment (rectal irrigation) to help people with long-term constipation caused by trouble emptying the bowels. It looks at whether using more or less water works better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for defecation disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 5 recruiting defecation disorder studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a defecation disorder trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a defecation disorder trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
