Sacral nerve study for fecal incontinence after rectal cancer surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had rectal cancer and underwent abdominoperineal resection surgery
- You have fecal incontinence and are scheduled to receive sacral neuromodulation treatment
- You can speak and read Swedish to give informed consent
- You do not have a previous diagnosis of fecal incontinence that started before your cancer treatment

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.
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.
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.
This trial tests if pelvic floor exercises can help patients recover bowel and bladder control after surgery for rectal cancer. It may improve your quality of life after a low anterior resection.
This trial tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to a nerve in your lower back to help control both bowel and bladder leakage. It is for women who have had severe fecal and urinary incontinence for at least six months and have not improved with other treatments.
This study tests whether placing a device early after rectal cancer surgery can help control sudden urges and bowel leakage. It may improve daily life for people struggling with these symptoms.
