( Entries from participants' diaries ind...)Biofeedback Treats One Type Of Chronic Constipation,Health

Entries from participants' diaries indicated that people in the biofeedback group, not standard or sham groups, had more spontaneous bowel movements. All groups reported more satisfaction overall with their bowel habits. However, 85 percent of the biofeedback group reported improvement, compared to 45 percent of the "sham" group.

The researchers are now developing a home-based biofeedback program to assist more people. They also are studying the mechanism by which the biofeedback succeeds.

"Biofeedback works, but we don't know exactly why it does," Rao said. "We'll study how the gut and brain 'talk to each other'. Somewhere in between is where the problem lies, so improving communication, if you will, between the gut and brain will improve bowel function."
