Summary
This study tested a mix of treatments—biofeedback, osteopathic care, behavioral training, diet changes, and electrical stimulation—to help children with spina bifida control their bladder. 66 kids aged 10-17 took part, receiving either the combo therapy or standard care for 10 weeks, with a 12-week follow-up. The goal was to reduce daily wetting accidents and improve quality of life.
