Transanal Irrigation for LARS (TAI-LARS Trial)
TAI-LARS Trial Summary
This trial will test whether a treatment called Transanal irrigation (TAI) can improve quality of life and reduce symptoms in Canadian rectal cancer survivors living with minor to major LARS. TAI involves flushing the rectum with water to clean it out, and has been shown to be effective in other studies. However, it is not known whether TAI is feasible or acceptable for Canadian patients, or whether online nursing support can help patients through the process.
