Predicting Treatment Success Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) has recently emerged as a promising treatment for depression and an effective mood enhancer, showing benefits over similar treatments including traditional vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) which is invasive and costly. tVNS targets the auricular branch of the vagus nerve and works by applying a small electrical stimulation ...
Abstract Background Impaired neuromuscular control and degeneration of the multifidus muscle have been linked to the development of refractory chronic low back pain (CLBP). An implantable restorative-neurostimulator system can override the underlying multifidus inhibition by eliciting episodic, isolated contractions. The ReActiv8-B randomized, active-sham-controlled trial provided ...
Treatments in the stepwise program were: Anti-diarrheal drugs Dietary advice Bulking agents Enemas Pelvic floor physiotherapy Biofeedback Transanal irrigation (TAI) Sacral neuromodulation Percutaneous endoscopic cecostomy Antegrade enema and colostomy Functional outcomes were assessed with the LARS score and Wexner fecal incontinence scores at 6 specific time ...
The treatment option most commonly used were diet and medication while other options like pelvic floor rehabilitation, transanal irrigation (TAI) and neuromodulation were rarely used. The authors conclude that in addition to hard endpoints such as mortality and recurrence rates, more clinical focus on bowel problems in rectal cancer survivors is needed. ...
