Do you know of any studies and/or equipment to assist these individuals retrain their muscles for better management of their bladder, etc. He mentioned biofeedback or neurofeedback in the conversation. Your response is appreciated. __ Dear Scott, Biofeedback is used for patients with bladder and bowel problems, It is necessary, however, to have intact sensory function. Laboratories that do anal-rectal motility studies will often do biofeedback training.
