Smart anal irrigation vs standard care for bowel issues in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.

This trial studies whether sacral neuromodulation (a device that sends mild nerve signals) can improve bladder, bowel, and sexual symptoms caused by nerve problems. It is for people whose current bladder treatments have not worked well enough.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation can improve bladder control in women with multiple sclerosis. If you have bladder symptoms like urgency or frequent urination, this trial may help find new ways to manage them.
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.
This study tests a new device called Peristeen Light, which is a low-volume system for cleaning the bowels. It may help people with constipation or stool leakage who need this kind of treatment every other day.
This study tests a new bowel irrigation technique to help people with chronic constipation or fecal incontinence manage their symptoms. If you have these issues and haven't tried anal irrigation before, you may be eligible.
This trial tests whether a special enema system called transanal irrigation can improve constipation in people with Parkinson's disease. It also looks at how the treatment affects gut bacteria and bowel movements.
