Physiotherapy for children with Hirschsprung's disease
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether physiotherapy (special exercises) can help children who still have bowel problems after surgery for Hirschsprung's disease. The goal is to see if physiotherapy improves their quality of life and bowel function.

This trial collects leftover intestine tissue from children having bowel surgery to help develop future treatments using a child's own cells. It aims to find better ways to repair the bowel without needing donor tissue.
This study looks at long-term health and development outcomes in children who were diagnosed and treated for Hirschsprung’s disease or anorectal malformations. It uses both numbers and interviews to understand what happens over time after treatment, helping families and clinicians plan better care.
This study looks at bladder and sexual problems that may occur after surgery for Hirschsprung disease. By joining, you help doctors understand these issues better and improve care for others.
This trial is for parents of babies with Hirschsprung disease who need daily nursing care before surgery. It studies whether extra nursing support can help reduce parents' stress while taking care of their baby at home.
This study keeps a research record of people who have Hirschsprung disease and have had surgery. It helps doctors better understand long-term outcomes and care needs for future patients.
This study compares a new, non-invasive device to the current standard test (which is more invasive) for measuring how well the large bowel works in children. It may help diagnose or monitor bowel function without the need for a more uncomfortable procedure.
