Encopresis is the medical term for bowel control problems that result in stains or accidents in the underwear. It is a frustrating and emotionally painful issue for children and their families, and it can be difficult to treat.
Researchers at the University of Virginia, funded by the National Institutes of Health, have developed an effective treatment for encopresis that you can access from your computer at home. It is a specialized Internet program designed for parents and children to do together.
You and your child can learn the following information in a fun but private format : 1) How the bowels work, 2) how encopresis develops, and 3) how to manage it with medicines and special training exercises. The program even has fast-paced games for your child to play. |

The program has undergone successful pilot testing, and a national trial has been conducted.
Additional trials are in the early planning stage. If you would be interested in being part of a future trial (or in having access once the program is available to the public), please click here.
