description Object: The advantages of biofeedback therapy along with diet in patients with constipation are among the issues discussed nowadays. The aim of this study was to evaluate 2 years outcome of biofeedback therapy along with diet in patients with obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) (Anismus). Methodology: The focus of this prospective study is a group of 129 patients with ODS constipation, who were referred to two tertiary-care referral academic centers from 2013 to 2016. Patients received biofeedback therapy combined with appropriate diet in cases group and received diet in controls group. Good response was defined as a subject with at least 50 percent improvement from before to after biofeedback therapy on a Cleveland Clinic Florida Constipation Scoring System (CCF). Factors associated with better outcome were analyzed using SPSS 20 software. Results: Out of the 129 patients, 112 patients (86.8%) were female. The mean age of patients was 42.44 ± 15.05 years. The mean CCF score of the patients before and after biofeedback therapy was 12.41 ± 4.39 and 6.00 ± 3.28 respectively in case group (p-value < 0.001). In addition, the mean CCF score of the patients before and after diet therapy was 12.82 ± 4.85 and 9.43 ± 3.79 respectively in control group (p-value < 0.001). While CCF score in both case and control groups reduced significantly after therapy, the rate of this reduction was higher in case group (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that biofeedback therapy combined with diet will improve patients outcome in ODS constipation. Prospective clinical trials with larger sample sizes are recommend allowing for causal correlations. Resumo: Objetivo: As vantagens da terapia por biofeedback, juntamente com a dieta, em pacientes com constipação se situam entre os tópicos atualmente em discussão. O objetvo desse estudo foi avaliar os resultados, após 2 anos, da terapia por biofeedback associada à dieta em pacientes com síndrome da defecação obstruída (SDO) (Anismus). Metodologia: O enfoque desse estudo prospectivo é um grupo de 129 pacientes com constipação por SDO, encaminhados a dois centros acadêmicos de referência para atendimento terciário entre os anos de 2013 e 2016. Os pacientes receberam terapia por biofeedback em combinação com dieta apropriada no grupo de estudo (casos), e apenas dieta no grupo de controle. Boa resposta foi deinida como o paciente com pelo menos 50% de melhora desde antes até após a terapia por biofeedback, com o uso de um Sistema de Pontuação para Constipação do Centro Médico Cleveland Clinic Florida (CCF). Os fatores associados a melhor desfecho foram analisados com o uso do programa SPSS 20. Resultados: Dos 129 pacientes, 112 (86,8%) eram mulheres. A média de idade dos pacientes era de 4244 ± 15,05 years. O escore CCF médio dos pacientes antes e depois da terapia por biofeedback foi 12,41 ± 4,39 e 6,00 ± 3,28 respectivamente no grupo de casos (P < 0,001). Além disso, o escore CCF médio dos pacientes antes e depois da dietoterapia foi 12,82 ± 4,85 e 9,43 ± 3,79 respectivamente no grupo de controle (P < 0,001). Embora o escore CCF tanto no grupo de casos como no grupo de controle tenha apresentado redução significativa após a terapia, o grau dessa redução foi mais elevado no grupo de casos (P < 0,001). Conclusão: Nossos achados sugerem que a terapia por biofeedback em combinação com a dieta melhora o resultado para os pacientes apresentando constipação por SDO. Recomendamos a realização de estudos clínicos prospectivos com amostras mais expressivas, que permitam o estabelecimento de correlações causais.
