Efficacy of anal botulinum toxin injection in children with functional constipation
Anal BTX injections improved BM frequency with minimal effect on FI with an overall symptom resolution in 21% of patients. BTX does not seem to have a notable effect in patients with FC and developmental delay and/or behavioral disorders. Provider and parental reported success were significantly higher than the actual observed response.
