Comparison of Anorectal Manometry and 3D Manometry in Diagnosis of Functional Disorders in Children

November 12, 2018 updated by: Marcin Banasiuk, Medical University of Warsaw

Comparison of High-resolution Anorectal Manometry and 3D High-definition Anorectal Manometry in Diagnosis of Functional Disorders in Children

Pressures measured by manometric solid-state catheters may differ according to the type of the catheter and specific anatomy and physiology of anorectum.

The aim of the study is to establish the difference in recordings between 2 types of anorectal catheters used in pediatric patients and to validate the most appropriate way to diagnose of functional disorders.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Patients enrolled in study will be investigated by both types of anorectal catheters, first by anorectal high resolution flexible, thinner, solid-state catheter and after that with rigid, thicker, solid-state catheter. Both procedures will be undertaken during one session. There will be used standard protocol of the procedure that measures conventional manometric parameters (resting pressure, squeeze pressure, bear down manoeuver, thresholds of sensation and recto anal inhibitory reflex threshold.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: High resolution anorectal manometry
All subjects will be investigated by high-resolution anorectal manometry. At the beginning the anorectal cather will be used to record conventional parameters and after that 3D high-definition anorectal manometric catheter will be inserted in order to measure conventional parameters and 3D picture of anorectum.
Recording of conventional manometric parameters after insertion of the catheters.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Difference in Resting pressure of the anorectal area
Time Frame: 20 seconds

Resting pressure will be measured after insertion catheter into anorectum. The software automatically record pressure while patient is lying on the bed.

The parameter is recorded with 2 different types of anorectal catheters and the difference is evaluated.

20 seconds

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximum squeeze pressure
Time Frame: 1 min
Pressure is recorded after the patient is asked to squeeze anorectum for 20 s (repeated 3 times).
1 min
Bear down manoeuver
Time Frame: 1 min
Pressures are recorded after the patient is asked to bear down for 20 s (repeated 2 times)
1 min
Thresholds of sensation
Time Frame: 1 min
The balloon at the top of the catheter is being filled with air until a patient is able to report sensation, urge and discomfort.
1 min
Recto anal inhibitory reflex
Time Frame: 5 min
The balloon at the top of the catheter is being filled with air until the relaxation of anal sphincter is observed.
