Brief description Normal rectal function (with respect to storage and evacuation of faeces) is highly dependent on intact rectal sensation. Identification and characterisation of biomarkers of rectal sensation in health would allow more accurate diagnosis and a better understanding of prevalent bowel disorders, such as constipation and faecal incontinence. It would also give opportunity to identify potential novel therapeutic targets, and accurately assess the efficacy of existing and new treatment strategies.
