| الوصف: | [Abstract] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of biofeedback therapy on evacuation diffculty level and the pain grade during defecation of elderly female patients with dyssynergic defecation. With this aim, after one month of initial assessment, 16 chronically constipated female patients with dyssynergic defecation were randomized to either a electromyographic biofeedback group (n = 8) or to a conventional treatment group (n = 8). The results showed a significant decrease in the evacuation diffculty level and pain grade during defecation following behavioral treatment through biofeedback. At the same time, the treatment produced significant improvements in the weekly stool frequency and a decrease in the mean electromyographic (EMG) activity ( V) of the external anal sphincter during straining to defecate. Clinical gains were maintained during the follow-up carried out six months later |
