Comparing MOWOOT and trans-anal irrigation for constipation
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests two treatments for chronic constipation: a device called MOWOOT (which uses gentle abdominal massage) and trans-anal irrigation (a way to wash out the rectum). It is for people who have tried biofeedback therapy and still need help managing their constipation.
