Area of Science:

  • Pelvic floor physical therapy
  • Gastroenterology
  • Urogynecology

Background:

  • Anal incontinence (AI) is a debilitating condition.
  • Conservative physical therapies for AI show variable efficacy.
  • Novel treatment approaches are needed for AI management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of combining electromyographic biofeedback with endoanal electrostimulation for AI.
  • To assess the utility of the MAPLe® probe in targeted pelvic floor therapy for AI.

Main Methods:

  • Patients with AI unresponsive to conservative measures received treatment with the MAPLe® probe.
  • Anorectal manometry (ARM), electromyography (EMG), Wexner Continence Score, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), FIQL, and SF-12 were used for assessment.
  • Objective and subjective outcomes were measured before and after treatment, with follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements were observed in Wexner continence scores (13.59 to 8.03) and VAS (3.45 to 6.72).
  • Objective measures showed enhanced maximum voluntary manometric contraction and improved EMG values for external anal sphincter and puborectalis.
  • Quality of life domains (FIQL) and SF-12 components improved, with sustained benefits at 6 and 12 months.

Conclusions:

  • Targeted electromyographic biofeedback and endoanal electrostimulation using the MAPLe® probe offer sustainable improvement in AI.
  • The therapy enhances both objective physiological parameters and subjective patient-reported outcomes.
  • This combined approach represents a promising treatment strategy for anal incontinence.
