About the study

The purpose of this research is to evaluate functional outcomes in patients with Ulcerative Colitis and IBDU who have received an ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA), commonly referred to as a J pouch, after treatment with the Emsella chair. We will specifically look at fecal incontinence and patient health related quality of life outcomes before, during and after course of treatment.
