03/01/2003 - "In all patients antegrade enemas led to significant improvement of: bowel movements/wk (7.4 vs. 1.4, p < 0.001), soiling accidents/wk (1.1 vs. 6.1, p < 0.001), emotional health score (3.8 vs. 1.8, p < 0.001), overall health score (3.7 vs. 1.8, p < 0.001), number of medications for constipation (0.8 vs. 4.2, p < 0.001), number of missed school days/mo (1.3 vs. 10.5, p < 0.001), and number of physician office visits/yr (7.7 vs. 24.1, p < 0.002). "
11/01/2014 - "Milk and molasses enemas were found to be effective at relieving constipation in our population, with a success rate averaging 88% in patients given 5 to 6 mL/kg with an institutional guideline maximum of 135 mL. The success rate was found to vary with age, along with the amount of enema given. "
07/01/2004 - "The antegrade colonic enema is accepted as effective for management of intractable constipation in children when conventional bowel management has failed. "

04/01/1994 - "Corticosteroid enemas represent effective treatment for ulcerative proctitis, but absorption into the systemic circulation may have undesirable metabolic consequences. "
05/01/1989 - "5-ASA enemas do not appear to be effective in the treatment of radiation proctitis."
06/01/1999 - "A prospective, randomized, double-blind trial comparing short chain fatty acid enemas with placebo was conducted in 19 patients with chronic radiation proctitis. "
06/01/1999 - "The aim of the present study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of short chain fatty acid enemas in patients with chronic radiation proctitis. "

02/01/2008 - "The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of the technique of hydrostatic reduction of intussusception using saline enema and ultrasound being practiced in our institute; the secondary goal was to identify patient subset in which it is more successful. "
01/01/2008 - "We sought to retrospectively identify computed tomography (CT) criteria that may help to predict bowel viability and successful enema reduction in children with ileocolic intussusception. "
11/01/2006 - "Air enema is a safe and effective approach for uncomplicated intussusception reduction with a high success rate, but the duration of symptoms directly increases the complication rate."
05/01/2004 - "Air enema associated with the use of delayed, repeated reduction attempts is a safe and effective approach for intussusception reduction with a high success rate. "
07/01/2002 - "The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of sonographically guided hydrostatic enema in therapeutic reduction of intussusception in children and to determine whether certain factors may predict the outcome of this technique. "
