Primitive Reflex Inhibition as a Novel Therapeutic Approach for Pediatric Functional Constipation

Primitive Reflex Inhibition as a Novel Therapeutic Approach for Pediatric Functional Constipation. Research Study, 2025.
This dataset contains the Data of the Research and Comparison Group Participants used in the study. No personal identifying data is included.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between primitive reflex patterns and Fecal Retention (FR) in children, utilizing a targeted intervention to inhibit primitive reflexes and examining its impact on FR. The findings reveal a significant connection between the persistence of specific reflexes and FR, indicating that neuromotor immaturity may be a key factor in developing gastrointestinal dysfunctions. Individualized exercises targeting these sensorimotor deficits improved bowel function and relief from FR for most children in the research group.
