Magnetic stimulation for leaky bowel after J-pouch surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a J-pouch surgery for ulcerative colitis or inflammatory bowel disease unclassified (IBDU).
- It has been at least 1 year since your J-pouch surgery.
- You have fecal incontinence (leaking or trouble controlling bowel movements).

This study looks at using a small nerve stimulation approach to improve fecal incontinence (bowel leaks). If it works for you, it could help you have more control and fewer accidents.
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.
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.
This study tests if a type of magnetic therapy applied to the belly can improve constipation and other symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). It aims to see if this drug-free treatment can help people who have had symptoms for at least 6 months.
This trial tests a stomach (gastrointestinal) stimulation approach to help your bowels start working again after extensive surgery, which may cause a temporary problem called postoperative ileus. If it helps, it could mean faster recovery and less time with bowel-related complications.
This study tests a stimulation program for the bowel loop before surgery to close an ileostomy. It may help your bowel get ready and improve recovery after the procedure.
