Brief description Over 80 million people have chronic constipation. It affects over 1/5 older people and is a major problem in aged-care. We have found that a painless method of electrical stimulation across the abdomen can overcome chronic constipation in children and adults. We will test the method to see what types of constipation it can help, including constipation caused by pain-medication and irritable bowel syndrome. This treatment is given at home and could improve life for many people around the world.
