Abstract:
:We assessed efficacy of biofeedback therapy and home pelvic floor muscle exercises in children with dysfunctional voiding (DV) associated with mild to moderate hydronephrosis. This prospective study comprised fifty seven children (21 boys, 36 girls; mean age 8.9 ± 2.6) with DV and mild to moderate hydronephrosis. Children were randomly allocated into two treatment groups including control group who underwent standard urotherapy and case group who received biofeedback therapy in addition to standard urotherapy. A 99mTc diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (99mDTPA) scan, voiding cystoureterography, kidney and bladder ultrasounds, voiding diary and uroflowmetry with electromyography (EMG) were performed in all study participants at the baseline. Children with evidence of complete obstruction in DTPA scan and vesicoureteral reflux were excluded from enrollment. A complete voiding diary, kidney and bladder ultrasounds and uroflowmetry/EMG were also performed 6 months and 1 year after completion of the treatment. We noted a more significant decline in anteroposterior pelvic diameter in case group compared to control group (P < 0.05). The mean maximal urine flow rate prior to treatment was 16.5 ± 2.6 and 16.1 ± 3 ml/s in case and control groups, respectively. This finding increased significantly 1 year after the treatment in case group compared to controls (25 ± 7.2 ml/s vs. 18.4 ± 5.9 ml/s, respectively; P < 0.001). Improvement of various parameters in voiding diary was also more significant in the case group. Biofeedback therapy can effectively resolve non-refluxing and non-obstructive hydronephrosis in children with DV.
