简要总结
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect and safety of alpha agonist ointment on fecal incontinence severity in patients with idiopathic fecal incontinence.
详细描述
This is a double blinded cross over study. Approximately 40 subjects will be participating in this 4 weeks study. A screening visit will be used to determine eligibility for the study. Patients found eligible will receive alpha agonist ointment or placebo ointment for 2 weeks. This will be followed by a second 2 weeks treatment cycle in which:
- patients previously treated with alpha agonist will be treated with placebo.
- patients previously treated with placebo will be treated with alpha agonist.
