Summary

This study tested whether adding core-based massage and exercise to standard care helps children aged 7 to 15 with lower urinary tract symptoms. 42 children participated, receiving either standard urotherapy and biofeedback or the same plus abdominal and back massage and core exercises. The goal was to see if the extra therapy improves bladder symptoms and quality of life without drugs or invasive procedures.
