Sacral Neuromodulation as Treatment for Fecal Incontinence
The objective of this study is to investigate if low level laser therapy will do more good than harm for patients with severe refractory fecal incontinence. It is a proof of concept study without a placebo arm.
Acute Genital Nerve Stimulation for Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction in Individuals Living With Spinal Cord Injury
Bowel issues occur in nearly all people after spinal cord injury (SCI) and one major complication is fecal incontinence (accidents). This complication has been repeatedly highlighted by people living with SCI as particularly life-limiting and in need of more options for interventions. This study will test the effect of genital …
Safety and Performance of a Silicone Implant for Fecal Incontinence Treatment (SimplyFI)
The purpose of the clinical investigation is to verify that the device under investigation (SimplyFI) is appropriate to significantly improve fecal incontinence in patients in whom its use is indicated.
Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Autologous Fat Injection Into the Intersphincter Space in Fecal Incontinence: a Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Cross-over, Double-blind Trial
Fecal incontinence is frequent and has a significant impact on the quality of life of individuals. Its therapeutic management is based primarily on transit regulation and rehabilitation and secondarily on neuromodulation of the sacral roots. However, this strategy is insufficient in more than one patient out of three. The patient …
Addressing Disparities in Colorectal Cancer Screening in Black and Underserved Phoenix Communities
This clinical trial studies disparities involving colorectal cancer prevention and screening in Black and underserved communities in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Black community is disproportionately impacted by colorectal cancer, with the highest rate of any racial/ethnic group in the United States. There are complex reasons behind these disparities, largely …
Organ Preservation in Rectal AdenoCa Using Hypofractionated Pelvic RT(Hypo-OPRA)
The combination of preoperative pelvic RT - either long-course chemoradiotherapy (LCCRT) or short-course radiotherapy (SCRT)- followed by surgery has been the standard of care in the curative treatment of locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the rectum for decades. Some patients however achieve a complete clinical response (cCR) to their preoperative treatment …

Effectiveness of Electrical Stimulation and Biofeedback on Fecal Incontinence in Children With Repaired Anorectal Malformation
This study aimed to investigate and compare the effect of electrical stimulation and biofeedback with electrical stimulation alone on fecal incontinence in children with repaired imperforate anus, with ages from 6 to 10 years.
Mechanisms of Improving Fecal Continence Muscles Motor Function
The investigators hypothesize that different continence muscles have different fatigue characteristics and fatigue induced by resisted contractions will result in significant increase in contractility of the continence muscles and improvement of fecal incontinence severity.
