Correction of dysfunctional urination in children

A treatment of 58 children 7-12 years (36 girls and 22 boys) with dysfunctional urination was performed. The 1st group was treated with low-level laser therapy (LLLT), the 2nd group with biofeedback (BFB) therapy, 3rd group with two treatment methods. The treatment result in 1st group was increasing of bladder effective volume for 15% of the original. In the 2nd group parameters of urine evacuation improved. After 1 month after treatment monitoring with uroflowmetry method showed, that urination rate increased to 18,7±3,2 ml/s by increasing the effective urination volume by 23% (180±15 ml). The 3rd group had an increase of bladder effective volume for 32,5% with a corresponding decrease in the residual volume. Number of sensory urinations increased by 20% per day, without increasing of urination total number. According to uroflowmetry, urine flow rate increased to 18,7±15,7 ml/s with average urination volume 180±25 ml. So both reservoir and evacuation bladder functions improved. As a result of complex therapy with BFB and LLLT of 3rd group, independent volitional control and urination reflexes activated. More effective of dysfunctional urination correction in children is achieved with a combination of these treatment methods. © 2016, Pediatria Ltd. All rights reserved.
