Biofeedback vs bilateral transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation in the treatment of functional non-retentive fecal incontinence in children: A randomized controlled trial
Journal of Pediatric Surgery Oct 04, 2020
Abdelrahman EM, Ghafar MAA, Selim AO, et al. - Given that biofeedback and transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (TPTNS) can be used in the treatment of functional non-retentive fecal incontinence (FNRFI), researchers sought to assess the early effect of biofeedback vs (TPTNS) and treatment by Kegal exercises and dietetic regulations in the management of (FNRFI) in children. The sample consisted of 93 children with FNRFI who were randomly allocated to the 3 groups. Group A (n = 28) were treated by dietetic regulation and Kegal exercises and group B (n = 34) received biofeedback whereas group C (n = 31) received (TPTNS) for 3 months. According to the current prospective randomized controlled study, there was a statistically significant decline in the incontinence score in group B and group C relative to group A at 3 and 6 months. Biofeedback is more effective in the treatment of FNRFI in children for short term follow-up than TPTNS, Kegal exercises and dietetic regulations.
