Figure 4. Anal pressure measured manometrically in basal conditions and after the insertion of the magnets made of: plastoferrite (A); ferrite (B); and neodymium (C). * P < 0.05. The endoanal pressure after the insertion of neodymium magnets was 79.7 ± 13.1 mmHg (mean ± SD), after ferrite magnets 42.1 ± 5.6 mmHg, and after plastoferrite magnets 21.6 ± 4.6 mmHg, all of them significantly higher than the pressure recorded in basal conditions (1.72 ± 0.71 mmHg).
