bladder training trial of voiding

INTRODUCTION: Neurological defects in children with cerebral palsy (CP) not only affect their motor skills but also lead to bladder and bowel problems. Although most children with CP have achieved urinary control, more than 50% of cases experience lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Common LUTS complaints observed in CP include delayed toilet training, urinary incontinence, increased frequency of urination, urgency, urinary hesitancy, and recurrent urinary tract infections. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to prospectively evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two different physiotherapy approaches, sacral Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and massage, on lower urinary tract dysfunction in children with CP...

BACKGROUND: In spaceflight, acute urinary retention (AUR) could develop as a sequela of medication use, urinary tract infection, urolithiasis, or intentional urine holding. While AUR is generally treated with bladder decompression, urinary catheterization could be difficult operationally in terms of training and proficiency, supplies, and lack of space or privacy. This report discusses a case in which tamsulosin and lorazepam were used successfully on an offshore ship while awaiting medical evacuation, a situation that could arise in remote locations where aerospace operations are conducted...

BACKGROUND: Overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms of frequency, urgency and urge incontinence are frequently associated with known neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injury (SCI), Parkinson's disease (PD), stroke. OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to review the efficacy of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for neurogenic overactive bladder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched two electronic databases (PubMed and EMBASE) for randomized controlled trials focusing on pharmacological and non-pharmacological medical treatments for overactive bladder symptoms associated with neurological diseases published up to 30 April 2022...

one of the major annoying disorders occurring in people with multiple sclerosis is lower urinary tract disorders (LUT). Urgency is considered the main one seriously influencing the quality of life. Neurogenic detrusor over activity (DOAB) is characterized by a hyperreflexic, overactive detrusor that responds quickly to low-intensity sensory input from general visceral afferent fibers. Overactivity has been claimed to induce random, uncontrolled contractions of the detrusor muscle, leading to intravesicular pressure rise, producing urgency, frequency, and consequently incontinence AIM: To demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy for posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) in neurogenic over active bladder (NOAB) in people with multiple sclerosis METHODS: The current trial is a prospective, randomized controlled study...

Background: The symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) are highly bothersome to patients. In behavioral therapy, traditional pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) can be boring and monotonous, which can cause poor compliance. It's important to establish a new safe and effective crotch-pelvic floor functional reconstruction training method [Yun-type pelvic floor optimal training (Yun-type training)] for OAB patients. Methods: This randomized, double-blind, crossover trial recruited a total of 150 women with mild to moderate OAB...

BACKGROUND: Lower urinary tract dysfunction or functional urinary incontinence is a common condition with a prevalence up to 21% between 6 and 8 year-old children. It is associated with an impaired quality of life, lower self-esteem, and social stigmatization. Urotherapy is the first treatment of choice for functional daytime urinary incontinence (DUI) in children. Alarm therapy can be a part of urotherapy as it provides the child adequate feedback on wetting accidents. Current alarm systems notify either at a set interval or give a notification when wetting has already occurred to prompt the child to go to the toilet...

BACKGROUND: Urinary incontinence affects around half of stroke survivors in the acute phase, and it often presents as a new problem after stroke or, if pre-existing, worsens significantly, adding to the disability and helplessness caused by neurological deficits. New management programmes after stroke are needed to address urinary incontinence early and effectively. OBJECTIVE: The Identifying Continence OptioNs after Stroke (ICONS)-II trial aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a systematic voiding programme for urinary incontinence after stroke in hospital...
