Sponsor: University of Michigan
Summary
This study aims to understand the mechanisms of straining on anorectal testing, to better help people receive more effective treatment advice. The study also aims to understand how point-of-care anorectal testing with an FDA-cleared device called Rectal Expulsion Device (RED) helps to identify people that might benefit from specific treatments that target pelvic floor muscle problems that lead to straining and hemorrhoids.
