Long‐term efficacy of biofeedback therapy in patients with dyssynergic defecation: results of a median 44 months follow‐up

The beneficial effect of biofeedback therapy (BFT) over a period of more than 2 years has not been studied in a large group of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long‐term efficacy of BFT for dyssynergic defecation (DD).
