ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a specific type of exercise, called spinal stabilization exercise training, can help women who suffer from chronic constipation. The goal is to see if these exercises can improve the severity of constipation symptoms, enhance the quality of life, and help women feel better overall. The study is not yet recruiting participants, but it will focus on women aged 18 to 65 who have been diagnosed with chronic constipation.

To be eligible for this trial, women must meet certain criteria, such as having chronic functional constipation according to specific guidelines. However, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain medical conditions like neurological diseases or uncontrolled metabolic diseases, or have had recent treatments for abdominal issues will not be able to participate. If chosen for the study, participants can expect to engage in a regular exercise program designed to improve their condition. This trial aims to provide valuable insights into how targeted exercise can make a difference for women dealing with chronic constipation.
