Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To study, 1 month after intra-rectal injections, the effect of botulinum toxin on rectal motricity stimulated by laxative instillation and recorded in high resolution manometry.;Secondary Objective: - Evaluate the clinical efficacy of botulinum toxin injections at 1 month after injections. - Evaluate the quality of life at 1 month after the injections - Evaluate the tolerance of botulinum toxin injections;Primary end point(s): 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.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 month after BOTOX injection | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): The secondary endpoints were: - 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 - Tolerance of the botulinum toxin treatment ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 month after botulinum toxin injections. | — |
