Standard Urotherapy With or Without Biofeedback-Based Pelvic Floor Muscle Training for Dysfunctional Voiding in Children

Tanta University124 enrolled

Overview

This study aims to compare the efficiency of biofeedback therapy alone versus biofeedback therapy with medical treatment for dysfunctional voiding in children.

Dysfunctional voiding (DV) in children may result in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), such as urgency, frequency, urinary incontinence, and difficulty in urination. Noninvasive assessments and biofeedback-based pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) can effectively improve LUTS and protect upper urinary tract function in children, in addition to medical treatment.
