Chronic constipation is highly prevalent, and cases refractory to treatment are particularly challenging to manage. High-resolution colonic manometry (HRM) is used to further evaluate these patients to identify cases of intrinsic motor dysfunction (underlying myopathy or neuropathy). However, HRM is invasive and resource-intensive, limiting uptake and clinical utility. This study presents Body Surface Colonic Mapping (BSCM), a non-invasive cutaneous electrical recording technique, as a clinical ...
