Page "Encopresis" Paragraph 28

One potential method to help overcome some of these barriers is the use of “ Internet interventions ”.

Internet-delivered interventions are typically behavioral-based treatments that have been designed for delivery over the Internet.

They are often self-guided and highly structured, and are usually based on effective face-to-face treatments.

There is a relatively small, but growing, scientific research literature focused on pediatric disorders using the Internet, and an Internet intervention for encopresis has been developed.

Clinical trial data show that an Internet intervention designed to treat encopresis can help reduce fecal accidents.

Additional research is being conducted to further examine the effectiveness of Internet-delivered treatment for encopresis.
