This trial studies a device that stimulates nerves near the lower back (sacrum) to improve bowel function in people with severe constipation that hasn’t responded to standard treatments. It may help if your constipation involves problems coordinating bowel movement and the muscles around the rectum.
This study tests whether a laser therapy applied to specific points on the body can help with weight and body shape in women going through menopause who are overweight. It aims to find a safe, non-invasive option for weight management.
This trial tests a device called Femiset for women who have a condition called perineal descent, where the pelvic floor drops down. It aims to see if the device can help improve symptoms of obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS), which is difficulty passing stool.
This study tests whether a non-surgical (“conservative”) approach can improve constipation-related bowel problems in women who have a mild-to-moderate rectal bulge from pelvic organ prolapse. It may help by addressing how the rectum and pelvic floor work during bowel movements.
This study tests a non-surgical laser treatment to help with vaginal dryness, burning, pain during sex, and other symptoms caused by menopause. The goal is to see if it can safely improve quality of life and sexual health.
This study tests whether biofeedback—a technique that shows you real-time information about your pelvic muscles—can help women with constipation caused by muscles that don't relax properly during bowel movements. You'll learn to relax these muscles with visual feedback from a machine.
