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 whether a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the sacral nerve can improve bowel control in people who have urgency or leakage after rectal cancer surgery.
This trial tests a treatment called sacral neuromodulation, which uses a small device to send mild electrical pulses to nerves in the lower back, helping control both bowel and bladder leaks. It is for women who have had both fecal and urinary incontinence for more than 6 months and have not improved with other treatments.
This trial tests a new, intense form of nerve stimulation through the ankle to help control bowel leakage in people who still have problems after rectal cancer surgery. It may offer a non-surgical option if other treatments have not worked.
