About

This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on neurogenic bladder in children with myelomeningocele .Intervention: A pretest-post test controlled study was conducted in out-patient clinic in faculty of physical therapy Cairo university.

Full description

Myelomeningocele is the most common cause of neurogenic bladder in children. Bladder function in these children is affected by disordered innervation of detrusor muscle and external urethral sphincter that may lead to hydronephrosis. Thirty myelomeningocele children with neurogenic bladder were enrolled in this study and were assessed for eligibility. Their aged between 4 and 12 years. They were divided randomly into two groups. Group (A) which is the control group received medical care and standard urotherapy only. And Group (B) which is the study group received medical care and standard urotherapy in addition to pulsed electromagnetic field therapy for three successful months. All children were assisted using urodynamic studies before and after three months of intervention.
