The Symptomatic, Urodynamic and Psychodynamic Results of Bladder Re-Education Programs

Abstract

Bladder training and/or biofeedback techniques were used to treat 75 patients with frequency, urgency, nocturia and urge incontinence. Significant improvement or cure was obtained in 70% of enuretic children, 66% of men and 74% of women with unstable detrusor function. Clinical results correlated with cystometric reversion to stable bladder function. Patients who obtained good results showed improvement in the tested level of psychological adjustment, suggesting that psychological factors are not causes of the urological problem.
