Brief Summary: The aim of the study is to examine the effects of magnetic field therapy on individuals with chronic constipation 40 individuals with chronic constipation between the ages of 18-68 who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study Participants were divided into two groups treatment group n20 and control group n2O The control group was given constipation coping training and asked to perform the taught methods every day for 8 weeks Whether the individuals applied the methods was checked via telehabilitation Participants in the treatment group received magnetic field therapy twice a week for 8 weeks Participants were evaluated with the Constipation Severity Scale Constipation Quality of Life Scale and International Physical Activity Questionnaire before and after the treatment

Magnetic field therapy provides improvement in sub-parameters such as difficulty in defecation slowing down of colon movements and pain due to constipation It has provided an increase in the quality of life due to constipation Magnetic field therapy can be applied as an alternative treatment method for the treatment of individuals with chronic constipation problems
Detailed Description: This study was carried out in the laboratory of Istanbul Medipol University Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation department on participants between September 2018 and January 2020 and were diagnosed with chronic constipation

This study was conducted in accordance with the principles of human experimentation specified in the Declaration of Helsinki and with ethics committee approval Informed consent forms were obtained from the participants

52 participants were included in our study The study was completed with 40 participants Evaluations were made twice before and after treatment Magnetic field treatmentwas applied to the participants for 30 minutes a day twice a week for 8 weeks using an electromagnetic field therapy device in a supine position by placing circular magnetic field treatment electrodes in the abdominal area at a power of 25 Hz and 30 Gauss Participants were informed about the things to consider in magnetic field treatment To determine the effectiveness of the treatment evaluations were made before and after the treatment using the Constipation Severity Scale Constipation Quality of Life Scale International Physical Activity Questionnaire

Magnetic field therapy provided improvement in subparameters such as difficulty in defecation slowing of colon movements pain due to constipation and increased quality of life due to constipation
