Summary Introduction Dysfunctional voiding (DV) in children is a common issue, which can be found in up to 30% of children with wetting problems. Biofeedback assisted pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is an established nonpharmacological method to treat DV. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of physiotherapeutic intervention with biofeedback assisted PFMT in children with DV.

Summary Introduction and aim of the study: Most treatments of nocturnal enuresis (NE) are targeting the main pathophysiological mechanisms, i.e., excess nocturnal urine production, bladder reservoir dysfunction and inability to awaken to a full bladder. Although many children can be effectively treated with only one treatment modality, there is a significant number of treatment-refractory cases. We experience an increasing tendency to combine treatment modalities in those children.
