ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring a new treatment approach for children aged 6 to 14 who have a condition called dysfunctional voiding, which means they have trouble urinating normally. The researchers want to find out if a special type of exercise called Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization training, combined with ultrasound-guided pelvic floor muscle training, is more effective in helping these children than using ultrasound alone. They believe this new method could help reduce leftover urine in the bladder, improve symptoms related to urination, and help relax the pelvic floor muscles.

To participate in the study, children must be between 6 and 14 years old and have been diagnosed with dysfunctional urination through specific tests. Parents or guardians will need to provide consent for their child to join. However, children with certain medical issues, such as major urinary system problems or specific neurological conditions, will not be eligible. Participants can expect to take part in training sessions that focus on improving muscle control and function related to urination. It's important that children can attend these sessions regularly and follow the training program to remain in the study.
