Effect of Single-Dose Imipramine on Anal Sphincter Tone in Healthy Women: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study Using Anal Acoustic Reflectometry
The findings indicate that imipramine increases anal sphincter tone in healthy women. However, further research is required to evaluate its clinical impact on individuals with fecal incontinence. This research also demonstrates the effectiveness of using anal acoustic reflectometry for assessing pharmacological effects on anal sphincter function.
