This study tests whether doing guided “biofeedback” exercises at home can improve problems with constipation/blocked feeling, fecal leaks, and/or urine leaks. It focuses on retraining the muscles used for toileting to help you empty more normally and have fewer accidents.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06091566Recruiting
Nerve stimulation device for overactive bladder and bowel
This study tests a new kind of nerve stimulation device that is inserted into the vagina to help control bladder and bowel problems. It may reduce urgent trips to the bathroom, leaking, and other symptoms of overactive bladder or bowel dysfunction.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT04976153RecruitingPhase 3
Stem cell implant to treat fecal urge incontinence
This Phase 3 study tests an implant made from a person’s own muscle-related cells to improve fecal “urge” leakage. It’s for adults whose symptoms haven’t improved enough with usual conservative treatments.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06754189Recruiting
Study of UCon Patch Electrode for bladder or bowel control
This trial tests a new patch electrode placed on the skin to treat overactive bladder or bowel dysfunction. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07436676Recruiting
Laser treatment trial for fecal incontinence
This trial tests a laser-based treatment to see if it can safely help people who have trouble controlling bowel movements (fecal incontinence) for at least six months. It may be an option if you've had leaks of solid stool, liquid stool, or staining at least 2 to 4 times in the past month and have had a normal colonoscopy in the last three years.
Kfar SabaAges 18 years+ - NCT07604415Recruiting
Active vs. Passive Pelvic Floor Training for Fecal Incontinence
This study compares two types of at-home pelvic floor exercises—one where you actively squeeze your muscles and one that uses gentle stimulation—to help reduce accidental stool leakage. The goal is to find which approach works better for controlling bowel movements.
MartinAges 18 years+ - NCT06785844RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Botulinum toxin injection for children with hard-to-treat bowel leakage
This trial tests a one-time injection of botulinum toxin (like Botox) into the bottom muscle to help children who have frequent, stubborn bowel leakage. It aims to see if relaxing the muscle can reduce accidents.
JerusalemAges 4–18 - NCT05412069Recruiting
Test Fecobionics for fecal incontinence in adults
This trial studies whether Fecobionics can improve fecal incontinence (accidents with stool). It also looks at people with both “normal” and “abnormal” patterns of fecal incontinence to see who may benefit most.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06273046Recruiting
Biofeedback for bowel control problems
This trial tests a non-invasive biofeedback technique to help people regain control of bowel movements. It may be an option for those with frequent stool leakage or difficult constipation, but participants must not have certain other digestive or neurological conditions.
BarcelonaAges 18–75 - NCT04972799Recruiting
Fat injection for severe bowel leakage using a placebo comparison
This study tests whether injecting your own body fat around the anal muscle area can reduce severe fecal (bowel) leakage compared with a placebo (fake) treatment. It’s designed to be safe and more effective than doing nothing, with participants getting both treatments in a cross-over design.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07524439Recruiting
Beta-glucan cream for incontinence-related skin irritation
This study tests whether a special cream containing beta-glucan (a natural ingredient) can soothe and protect skin damaged by urine or stool leakage. You'd apply the cream during a hospital stay of at least one week to see if it helps healing.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT04707976Recruiting
Smart anal irrigation vs standard care for bowel issues in MS
This study compares a smart device for transanal irrigation with regular bowel care in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have ongoing bowel problems. It aims to see if the smart irrigation approach improves bowel control and reduces symptoms.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07335484Recruiting
New trial nerve stimulation system for bladder or bowel control
This study tests a new temporary nerve stimulation system to see if it can help people with overactive bladder or chronic fecal incontinence. It is a short trial to check if the device works for you.
West Columbia, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06532123Recruiting
Study on improving muscle control for bowel leakage
This trial tests a treatment to strengthen the muscles that control bowel movements in people with weak anal sphincters. It may help those who have trouble holding in stool or gas.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06763861Recruiting
Sacral nerve study for fecal incontinence after rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests how sacral neuromodulation affects the external anal sphincter in people with fecal incontinence after rectal cancer treatment. It aims to understand if this nerve stimulation can improve muscle function and reduce leakage.
Umeå, Västerbotten CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07632196Recruiting
Nerve Stimulation to Improve Bowel Control After Rectal Cancer Surgery
This trial tests whether a small electrical device placed on the skin behind your ankle can help improve bowel control after surgery to remove rectal cancer. Many patients experience changes in bowel function after this surgery, and this treatment may help restore normal continence.
Manresa, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07034443Recruiting
Magnetic stimulation for leaky bowel after J-pouch surgery
This trial tests if high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation can improve bowel control in people who have a J-pouch after ulcerative colitis surgery. It may help if you have leakage or incontinence.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07732894Recruiting
Exercise and Guided Imagery for Bowel Symptoms After Cancer Surgery
This study tests if combining gentle aerobic exercise with guided imagery (a relaxation technique using your imagination) can help improve bowel control and reduce symptoms after rectal cancer surgery.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT04506593Recruiting
GI Motility diagnosis registry for people with digestion movement problems
This trial is a registry, meaning it collects information about people being evaluated for problems with how the gut moves. It may help doctors better diagnose gastrointestinal motility disorders in the future.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Any age - NCT05200923Recruiting
Testing a pelvic nerve device study for bladder and bowel leaks
This study checks how well an implanted pelvic nerve system works for people with bladder overactivity, non-obstructive urinary retention, or fecal incontinence. You may need to keep your current medications steady and track symptoms closely with diaries before and during evaluation.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05396456Recruiting
Muscle fragment injections for fecal incontinence symptoms
This trial tests whether injecting your own (autologous) muscle fragments into the anal area can reduce fecal incontinence. It’s for adults with frequent symptoms who have already tried standard medicines and procedures.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05626816Recruiting
Genital nerve stimulation to improve bowel control after spinal injury
This trial studies whether stimulating nerves near the genitals (a gentle electrical stimulation approach) can improve bowel function in people with spinal cord injury. It may help bowel control when bowel dysfunction is caused by nerve injury.
