🔍 Summary

This randomized controlled trial demonstrated that Triple-Target Treatment (3T), which combines amplitude-modulated medium-frequency stimulation and EMG biofeedback, significantly outperforms low-frequency stimulation (LFS) in improving anal incontinence. After 6 months of treatment, 54% of patients in the 3T group regained continence, compared to 0% in the LFS group.
