Sponsor's own description
MS (Multiple Sclerosis) is the most common neurological disease involving disabilities in young adults, with bowel symptoms, in particular constipation and fecal incontinence. The main objectives of the study are to assess the prevalence, characteristics, severity and impact on the Quality of Life of intestinal disorders in this population, to correlate the severity and characteristics of constipation and fecal incontinence with Intestinal Transit Time and the time dedicated to the evacuation, and how these items change in relation to the use of transanal irrigation (TAI). Another objective is to identify the composition of the intestinal microbiota in MS patients in relation to the type of bowel characteristics, comparing it with microbiota profile of the healthy population of the same region of origin, Emilia-Romagna, Italy.
