I hope this is the right place to ask, as I expect that parents of children with SN are probably more experienced at this sort of situation than parents of children without health issues.
My 9yo needs to have regular Peristeen bowel washouts, but he is refusing point-blank. We managed a couple of weeks nightly, then gradually less and less often. He chose chocolate at a bribe, but doesn't care any more.
He needs the washouts. His overflowing is getting worse and worse. He denies the problem (he know that he has the problem, but denies the accidents, both to us and to himself).
How can I help him? How can I get him to cooperate? I understand that it is weird and briefly uncomfortable. I hate doing unpleasant things to my dc, but it will help in the long run - if only he'd let me help him.
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.

How to get a child to co-operate with a regular procedure that they hate?
