Electrical Colon Stimulation Reflexively Increases Colonic Activity

Most individuals with spinal cord injury have neurogenic bowel dysfunction, which includes slowed colonic motility and has a significant impact on their health and quality of life. Bowel management typically includes mechanical rectal distension to evoke a recto‐colic reflex and promote bowel emptying. Electrical stimulation could replace this mechanical distension. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of evoking colonic activity using electrical stimulation.
