Chronic constipation in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) is common and the current methods of treatment are ineffective in some patients.
Anecdotal observations suggest that functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the abdominal muscles may be effective in the management of constipation in these patients.
Patients and Methods.
In this exploratory investigation we studied the effects of FES on the whole gut transit time (WGTT) and the colonic transit time (CTT).
In addition, we evaluated the treatment effect on the patients’ constipation-related quality of life and on the use of laxatives and the use of manual bowel evacuation.
FES was given for 30 minutes twice a day for a period of six weeks.
Four female patients were studied.
Results.
The WGTT and CTT and constipation-related quality of life improved in all patients.
The patients’ use of laxatives was reduced.
No adverse effects of FES treatment were reported.
Conclusion.
The findings of this pilot study suggest that FES applied to the abdominal muscles may be an effective treatment modality for severe chronic constipation in patients with MS.
