Abstract
BackgroundBiofeedback and transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (TPTNS) can be used in treatment of Functional non-retentive fecal incontinence (FNRFI).Aim of this study was to evaluate the early effect of Biofeedback versus (TPTNS) and treatment by Kegal exercises and dietetic regulations in management of (FNRFI) in children. MethodologyThe current prospective randomized controlled study included 93 children with FNRFI who were randomly allocated into the 3 groups. Group A (n = 28) were treated by dietetic regulation and Kegal exercises. Group B (n = 34) received biofeedback while group C (n = 31) received (TPTNS) for 3 months. Follow up using St’ Mark's incontinence score and high resolution manometry was done at 3 and 6 months and compared to the initial records. ResultsThere was statistically significant decrease in the incontinence score in Group B and C compared to Group A at 3 and 6 months (p ˂ 0.001). Resting and squeeze pressures showed significant increase group B and C (p ˂ 0.001). Patients in Group B and C showed significant decrease volume of balloon required for 1st sensation (p ˂ 0.001 and 0.034) respectively. ConclusionBiofeedback is more effective than TPTNS, Kegal exercises and dietetic regulations in treatment of FNRFI in children for short term follow-up. Level of EvidenceLevel I. Type of StudyTreatment Study.
