What the PelviPower2 faecal incontinence study is investigating

PelviPower2 focuses on whether a specific set of pelvic-floor interventions can improve bowel control, urgency and symptom severity.

Participants follow an evidence-informed programme supported by clinicians, with assessments before, during, and after treatment. The aim is to build high-quality data on outcomes and patient experience.

Adults experiencing faecal incontinence for six months or more may be suitable. The study seeks participants who can attend appointments in London and who meet the full eligibility criteria listed on the study page. This ensures the data collected reflects the intended group and keeps participation safe.

You may be eligible if you:

  • Are aged 18 or older.

  • Have had faecal incontinence for over six months.

  • Vivir en el Reino Unido.

  • Can attend clinic visits in London.
