Chronic constipation: overview and challenges

I J Cook et al. Neurogastroenterol Motil. 2009 Dec.

Abstract

Despite its high prevalence and cost implications, our understanding of the pathophysiology of constipation remains primitive, and available therapies have limited efficacy. The purpose of this supplement is to address critically the reasons for the current lack of understanding and to propose avenues of future research to address these deficiencies.
