Urotherapy vs. Urotherapy With Constipation Treatment for Children With Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction

Phase 4
Withdrawn
Conditions
Diurnal Enuresis
Interventions
Behavioral: Constipation behavioral therapy
Behavioral: Urotherapy
Registration Number
NCT02336906
Lead Sponsor
Rabin Medical Center
Brief Summary

Constipation treatment has been found to ameliorate symptoms in some patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction (including day time or combined day time/night time urinary incontinence). This study aims to explore if treatment of patients without overt constipation (As defined by the ROME III criteria) will also respond to anti-constipation treatment with reduction of their urinary tract symptoms. Assessment of severity and response of lower urinary tract dysfunction will be based on the Vancouver NULTD/DES questionnaire.
