Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare the Peristeen Anal Irrigation System with conservative bowel management in a prospective study among spinal cord injured patients with lower motor neuron neurogenic bowel dysfunction.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

People with spinal cord injury (SCI) often have severe problems with management of bowel function, including incontinence, impaction, lengthy bowel routines and extremely slow transit times.The anal irrigation system is a recently available system to help patients with bowel dysfunction empty their bowels by using pulse water irrigation. The system consists of a rectal balloon catheter, manual pump and water container.
