Evaluation of the new Axonics External Trial System (ETS-02) in patients with overactive bladder (OAB) and/or fecal incontinence (FI).

Rectal neoplasia is one of the most prevalent cancers in Spain, and the treatment of choice is total mesorectal excision (TME), as it has demonstrated significant oncological improvements. However, mesorectal excision is not without complications, and patients often experience altered bowel function in the form of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), as well as erectile dysfunction. However, few studies evaluate faecal incontinence, as most focus on oncological outcomes. The aim of our study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of posterior tibial nerve stimulation on fecal incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and quality of life in patients who underwent to rectal surgery for rectal neoplasia. It will be conducted a randomized clinical trial (1:1) with two arms: half of the patients will receive posterior tibial nerve stimulation, while the other half will undergo stimulation with subtherapeutic doses. Faecal incontinence will be assessed using the LARS and Wexner questionnaires, and quality of life and sexual function will be assessed using the Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (FIQLS) and the Colorectal Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-CR38), at one month, six months and one year after surgery.

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.

The purpose if this interventional First in Human study is to assess the Safety and Performance of the ALVIV System laser based treatment in patients diagnosed with Fecal Incontinence. Eligible patients will go through screening assessments, followed by a series of 4-6 treatments with 3 weeks apart. Last follow up visit to the study will occur 3 weeks after last treatment day. Participants will be asked to maintain a diary of their fecal incontinence episodes, and complete quality of life and satisfaction questionnaires throughout the study.
