Fecal incontinence

Brief summary

The primary endpoint was the time to onset of high amplitude propagative contractions (HAPC) after instillation of DULCOLAX® in the sigmoid and rectum, before and 1 month after intra-rectal botulinum toxin injections.

Detailed description

The characteristics of the contractions at the level of the rectum and the sigmoid measured before then 1 month after injections of botulinum toxin: number, frequency, amplitude, duration of the HAPC, index of contractility, number and characteristics of the contractions (propagated or retropropagated)., Expulsion or not of the probe (which is an indirect sign of the efficiency of the colorectal motricity) as well as the delay of expulsion of the probe., Severity scores (Cleveland Score, Appendix 2), stool schedule and quality of life score (FIQL Score, Appendix 4) before and 1 month after botulinum toxin injections., Adverse events, which will be collected at each visit, The quality of life score (FIQL Score, Appendix 4) before and 1 month after botulinum toxin injections.
