Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Eclipse System for the treatment of Fecal Incontinence (FI) in adult women.

This study will validate a bowel diary to be used for a forthcoming study comparing effectiveness of biofeedback, sacral nerve stimulation, and injectable bulking agents for the treatment of fecal incontinence (FI).

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a combination of colesevelam and clonidine to a placebo on bowel symptoms in patients with urge or combined type fecal incontinence. 

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Minnesota Medical Technologies (MMT) anal insert device on fecal continence over 3 months in patients with fecal incontinence (FI).

The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Solesta Injectable Bulking Agent in the treatment of fecal incontinence through 3 years in a real world setting.

The objectives of this study are effectiveness in reducing the frequency of fecal incontinence (FI) per week, safety measured by the number of adverse events, and cost of delivering each of the treatments (Biofeedback, Sacral Nerve Stimulation, and Injectable Bulking Agents).

The purpose of this study is to better understand the mechanisms by which people retain control of their bowel contents and evacuate stool (defecation) and why people have constipation or fecal incontinence (involuntary stool leakage). Pressure measurements (by manometry) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are widely used for diagnosis in patients with constipation or fecal incontinence. This study is trying to improve the utility of these tests for diagnosing these problems and to understand if pressure measurements (by manometry) can be related to strength of the anal sphincter measured by MRI. To do this, we will study the effects of alfuzosin on these muscles.

The purpose of this study is to assess for improvement after recovering from hip surgery in the symptoms of pelvic floor disorders that existed prior to hip arthroscopy.
