Abstract
This study assessed the long-term effectiveness, tolerability, and satisfaction of the intermittent colonic exoperistalsis (ICE) device MOWOOT in spinal cord-injured (SCI) individuals with chronic constipation. Eleven participants used MOWOOT for a mean of 13.27 months. Significant improvements were observed in mean time per evacuation, number of failed evacuation attempts, bowel movement frequency, stool consistency, and decreased symptoms like difficulty/strain, abdominal pain, bloating, cramps, and spasms. Satisfaction with bowel function and management also improved significantly. Most participants reported good tolerability, efficacy, and ease of use.
