Dyssynergic Defecation

How it works

Benefits

Highlighted claims

• Dyssynergic defecation is characterised by inadequate rectal propulsion, insufficient anal sphincter relaxation, or both. — Pilot multicentre open-label randomised controlled trial assessing prevention of recurrent DIverticulitis through the use of pelvic floor PHYSIOtherapy: DIPHYSIO study protocol
• Dyssynergic defecation is proposed to generate repeated transient high intraluminal pressures in the distal colon and rectum. — Pilot multicentre open-label randomised controlled trial assessing prevention of recurrent DIverticulitis through the use of pelvic floor PHYSIOtherapy: DIPHYSIO study protocol
• Correcting defecatory technique through pelvic floor physiotherapy is hypothesised to reduce recurrent diverticulitis risk. — Pilot multicentre open-label randomised controlled trial assessing prevention of recurrent DIverticulitis through the use of pelvic floor PHYSIOtherapy: DIPHYSIO study protocol
• The investigators hypothesise that pressure spikes from dyssynergic defecation contribute to structural colonic wall changes seen in diverticulosis. — Pilot multicentre open-label randomised controlled trial assessing prevention of recurrent DIverticulitis through the use of pelvic floor PHYSIOtherapy: DIPHYSIO study protocol
• The investigators hypothesise that a high-pressure, high-turbulence environment may obstruct diverticula and precipitate diverticulitis. — Pilot multicentre open-label randomised controlled trial assessing prevention of recurrent DIverticulitis through the use of pelvic floor PHYSIOtherapy: DIPHYSIO study protocol
