Many uncontrolled studies suggest that biofeedback training is an effe ctive adjunctive therapy in improving the outcome of functional consti pation and/or encopresis in children. This could not be confirmed in c ontrolled studies, Adding biofeedback training after conventional trea tment had failed did not provide benefits, The results of biofeedback treatment in children with functional constipation and/or encopresis a re disappointing.
