A randomized controlled study compared topical agents (dexamethasone, sucralfate and bismuth) with biofeedback. Overall, biofeedback gave 80% improvements in evacuation difficulty, need for digitation, sensation of incomplete evacuation, evacuation time, and appearance of mucosa on colonoscopy compared to the topical agents (50% improvement).

Preliminary clinical data suggests ginger may be effective for treatment of nausea and/or vomiting in a number of settings. [19] [20] [21] Emetrol is also claimed to be an effective antiemetic. Propofol is given intravenously. It has been used in an acute care setting in hospital as a rescue therapy for emesis. [22]
