Brief Summary:
Lower urinary tract dysfunction LUTD is present in 2-40 of healthy children If left untreated it can lead to health problems such as recurrent urinary tract infections vesicoureteral reflux and chronic renal failure Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a globally accepted treatment for adults and children In addition to locomotor skills functional exercises such as motor control core stability and balance training are important to support toilet training Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization DNS a current stabilization approach is a neurophysiological rehabilitation strategy based on developmental kinesiology using ontogenetic models to both diagnose and treat dysfunction in the locomotor system in infants and adult patients Today DNS is successfully used in the rehabilitation of various neurological musculoskeletal pediatric and sports injuries However there are no studies in the literature examining the effectiveness of DNS training in children diagnosed with LUTD The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of DNS training in children diagnosed with LUTD and to compare it with EMG-Biofeedback treatment method The children participating in the study will be randomly divided into 3 groups Children in Group I will exercise 3 days a week for 45 minutes according to DNS principles Children in Group II will receive EMG Biofeedback training 1 day a week Children in Group III will receive EMG-Biofeedback training 1 day a week in addition to exercises with DNS principles 3 days a week In the study data on symptoms demographic data of the individuals before treatment and at 4th week 8th week and 12th week after treatment will be obtained from each child participating in the study through a questionnaire symptoms related to voiding disorder and urinary incontinence with Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Scoring System DVISS activation of deep trunk muscles with Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback Unit urine flow curve and voiding parameters of the patients with uroflowmeter application will be evaluated Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance will be used to compare the three groups in terms of variables Wilcoxon signed-rank test will be used to analyze the statistical significance of the difference between all values before and after treatment For all results p005 will be considered as significance level
Detailed Description:
The sample of the study will consist of children between the ages of 6-15 years who were admitted to Malatya Inönü University Turgut Özal Medical Center Pediatric UrodynamicsUrotherapy Unit and diagnosed with LUTD by a pediatric nephrology specialist Inclusion criteria Being between the ages of 6-15 years having a normal neurologic examination being diagnosed with LUTD having a DVISS of 85 and above not having received any medication or other treatment for enuresis before Exclusion criteria were as follows patients with primary nocturnal enuresis patients with uncontrolled systemic disease patients with neurologic disease muscle disease epilepsy etc patients with inflammation of the vagina anus and urinary tract patients with febrile illness or active urinary tract infection presence of underlying psychological causes presence of mental retardation inability to comply with treatment Children who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study by non-probability random sampling method The inclusion of the three clusters formed according to the registration number of the Pediatric UrodynamicsUrotherapy Unit will be determined by lottery method After the children and their parentsguardians who meet the inclusion criteria are informed about the study content they will be asked to sign the informed consent forms for the child and the informed consent forms for the parentsguardians if they agree to participate in the study
The individuals participating in the study will be divided into 3 groups Children in Group I will exercise according to DNS principles 3 days a week for 12 weeks with sessions of 45 minutes Children in Group II will receive animated EMG biofeedback training with the Aymed Medikal Locum Wireless System v269012 device For animated biofeedback application two electrodes will be placed at 3 and 9 oclock in the perineum region and 1 reference electrode will be placed on the inner side of the thigh 42 The training protocol will be applied once a week for a total of 12 sessions for 3 months In addition to exercises with the DNS principle 3 days a week the children in Group III will receive biofeedback training with animation once a week with the Aymed Medikal Locum Wireless System v269012 device for a total of 3 months Demographic data of the individuals participating in the study will be obtained through a questionnaire from each child participating in the study The questions in the questionnaire are personal information of the child toilet training age frequency of urinary tract infections whether they have received treatment for urinary incontinence before whether they have chronic constipation whether their parents have a history of urinary incontinence at a young age and some personal information specific to the parents
The Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Scoring System DVISS will be used for symptoms of voiding dysfunction and urinary incontinence The DVISS is a 13-item questionnaire It originally includes 14 questions about symptoms and 1 question about quality of life In the scoring system developed by Akbal et al for the pediatric population and adapted to Turkish there are 13 symptom and 1 quality of life question
Evaluation of uroflowmeter parameters will be performed with the uroflowmeter application of the Aymed Medikal Locum Wireless System v269012 EMG device and the urine flow curve and voiding parameters of the patients will be evaluated These parameters are maximum flow rate time to reach maximum flow mean flow rate voiding volume and voiding time In our study urine volume of 100 ml or more will be considered valid Evaluation of deep trunk muscles transversus abdominis multifidus and deep neck flexors will be performed with the Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback Unit Chattanooga Stabilizer USA Before the test each participant will be taught how to contract the transversus abdominis muscle with the corset method in the supine and quadripedal position and how to contract the multifidus muscle in the supine position Measurements will be made for 10 seconds and 3 repetitions three measurements will be recorded and averaged For the measurement of the deep neck flexors the patients will first be taught the correct craniocervical flexion movement without activation of the superficial muscles The change in pressure will be recorded and the highest value from 3 trials will be taken Individuals will be evaluated before treatment at 4 weeks 8 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment The aim here is to measure how long it takes to show the effectiveness of the treatments applied and to determine whether the treatments are superior in terms of time
