Abstract
To investigate the prevalence of detrusor after-contraction (DA-C) in children with posturination dribbling, and compare the outcomes of pharmacological treatment and pelvic floor biofeedback training. Children with posturination dribbling underwent urodynamic studies. Patients with DA-C were randomly allocated to one of two groups: pelvic floor biofeedback training or 1 mg tolterodine, orally, twice daily. Treatment was continued for 12 weeks. The study included 45 children. DA-C was present in 39 patients (86.6%), 30 (76.9%) of whom also exhibited detrusor overactivity. Pelvic floor biofeedback training resulted in a significantly better response than tolterodine, in terms of reduction in the number of posturination dribbling events in the month after completion of treatment. DA-C is closely associated with posturination dribbling in children. Pelvic floor biofeedback training should be considered the initial treatment option in these patients.
