The overall objective of this study is to determine the effect of posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) on children with constipation due to pelvic floor dyssynergia. Our main hypothesis is that PTNS effectively treats children with constipation secondary to pelvic floor dyssynergia through modulation of anorectal function. We will perform a single-center, randomized controlled pilot study comparing PTNS to sham stimulation in children with constipation secondary to pelvic floor dyssynergia.
