Overview
This study aims to compare the efficiency of biofeedback therapy alone versus biofeedback therapy with medical treatment for dysfunctional voiding in children.
Description
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.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Children less than 18 years old.
- Both sexes.
- Children with dysfunctional voiding.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with cognitive function impairment.
- Patients who received any care for dysfunctional voiding.
- Children with known anatomical anomalies of the urinary tract.
- Children with known neurological anomalies (spinal dysraphism, multiple sclerosis, lumbar or spinal neuritis……… etc).
- Children with a history of back or lower urinary tract trauma.
