“…It is therefore important to note, conductive education may have benefits for social skills and quality of life outcomes [231]. The manual therapies, including massage (green light) [237] and cranial sacral osteopathy [241] and reflexology [243] (yellow lights, weak positive), appeared to help reduce constipation. Massage also appeared to help reduce pain [3•] (yellow light, weak positive), whereas Yoga did not [248] (yellow light, weak negative).…”

“…Many topics remain to be the subject of research for people with intellectual disability and constipation including the role of toiletting and the toiletting environment; the impact of educating staff, carers and people with intellectual disability about constipation; the impact of diet, exercise, fluid intake or other service‐related initiatives to try to reduce constipation; and whether learning disability nurses could take a role in education regarding constipation. In addition, no research has been performed with people with intellectual disability in relation to approaches to managing constipation including probiotics (Dimidi, Christodoulides, Fragkos, Scott, & Whelan, ); transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) (Hutson, Dughetti, Stathopoulos, & Southwell, ); and physiotherapeutic methods of connective tissue manipulation and Kinesio Taping (Orhan et al., ).…”
