| Summary: | [Objectives] To investigate the short-term efficacy of functional magnetic stimulation (FMS) for treating functional anorectal pain (FAP). [Methods] This was a retrospective analysis of 16 patients with FAP treated with FMS between July 2019 and July 2022 at the Pelvic Floor Treatment Specialty, Department of Anorectal Surgery, the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yatsen University. Anal pain was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) before treatment, after 10th treatments, and 3 months after the 10th treatment. Clinical effectiveness was assessed after 10th treatments and 3 months after the 10th treatment. [Results] One-way repeated measures analysis showed significant difference between VAS scores before and after treatment (P<0.05); VAS scores after 10th treatments and 3 months after the 10th treatment were significantly lower than the scores before treatment (P<0.05), while VAS scores after 10th treatments and scores 3 months after the 10th treatment did not differ significantly (P>0.05). After 10th treatments, two patients were deemed generally cured, and FMS was deemed highly effective in five patients, effective in four patients, and ineffective in five patients; the overall effectiveness rate (including “effective”, “highly effective”, and“cured”) was 11 out of 16 patients. Three months after the 10th treatment, three patients were generally cured, and FMS was deemed highly effective in five patients, effective in one patient, and ineffective in seven patients; the overall effectiveness rate was 9 out of 16 patients. [Conclusion] FMS can effectively alleviate anal pain in patients with FAP. It has satisfactory shortterm effectiveness. |
