Characteristics of INTESTINAL DYSFUNCTION in Patients With MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

"Patients with severe intestinal dysfunction impairment (PAC QoL score ≥ 32) will be offered the adoption of the TAI (Transanal Irrigation) with Peristeen Device as a way to manage their own evacuation, replacing any other measure used until that moment (suppositoires, clisms exceptionally cc) with the exception of the possible intake of macrogols and/or prebiotics and/or probiotics which instead patients can continue. This treatment will be proposed to all patients with severe impairment of intestinal function.~The TAI training with Peristeen will be carried out at the surgical clinic of the Surgical Department of the Ferrara University Hospital, Italy, by the health personnel involved in the study, usually in a single session, but more sessions may be necessary, with the continuation of the TAI for 4 weeks or with patient's exclusion from the study if the guarantees of appropriate use of the device will not be reached."
