Phase N/A

Fecal Incontinence (FI) means losing control over bowel movements. This study looks at a new treatment called Translumbosacral Neuromodulation Therapy (TNT). It uses a magnetic device to help the nerves in the lower back that control the anus and rectum. TNT is non-invasive, meaning it doesn't involve surgery. Researchers think it can help improve FI by making nerve signals better, and increasing anal strength and rectal feeling. The study involves 132 patients and will test if TNT is safe and effective. It also checks if the improvement lasts over time. The goal is to find a new, low-risk way to treat FI.

  • The study will be conducted over a long-term period.
  • Participants will receive a novel non-invasive treatment.
  • There are specific eligibility criteria for joining the study.
