Two experiments compared the effects of biofeedback training to behavior modification in the treatment of 33 children aged 5 to 16 who had fecal incontinence secondary to myelomeningocele. Biofeedback involved (a) providing visual feedback and rewards for successively stronger sphincter contractions during training sessions and (b) requiring 50 sphincter contraction exercises daily. Behavior modification involved (a) attempting to defecate immediately after the evening meal each day, (b) receiving a reward for defecting in the toilet without an enema or suppository, and (c) receiving an enema if unsuccessful for two consecutive days.
