Our earlier studies have demonstrated that sacral magnetic stimulation (MS) in the canine model, in healthy volunteers and in constipated subjects effected rectal pressure rise, decline of the rectal neck (anal canal) pressure as well as rectal evacuation. Based on these results, we studied the effect of sacral MS on defecation in patients with puborectalis paradoxical syndrome (PPS).
