A total of 20 children with incontinence due to myelomeningocele and 1 due to occult neuropathic bladder underwent a course of endovesical electrotherapy. There was temporary improvement in 1 and more lasting in another, but this was the result of catheterisation and bladder training rather than the electrotherapy. It is concluded that the electrotherapy has helped none of the patients, and no significant change in their bladder function was detected.
共有20名因脊髓脊膜膨出导致大小便失禁的儿童和1名因隐匿性神经性膀胱导致大小便失禁的儿童接受了膀胱内电疗疗程。其中1名儿童有短暂改善,另1名儿童改善持续时间更长,但这是导尿和膀胱训练的结果,而非电疗的效果。得出的结论是,电疗对所有患者均无帮助,且未检测到其膀胱功能有显著变化。
