OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of antimuscarinic treatment with tolterodine combined with behavioural modification as a first-line treatment, before invasive investigation, in children with non-neurogenic voiding dysfunction but no obvious anatomical or neurogenic cause.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study comprised 44 children presenting with voiding dysfunction (30 girls and 14 boys, mean age 7 years, range 5-14); all had a noninvasive evaluation consisting of a history, urine analysis, renal and bladder ultrasonography and physical examination, with specific emphasis on the voiding pattern. Anticholinergic treatment with tolterodine (1 mg twice daily) was started in all patients; they were also informed about conservative management, including timed voiding, double voiding and relaxation of the pelvic floor during voiding. At the start and after 3 months, the dysfunctional voiding symptom score (DVSS) was completed twice by all patients.
RESULTS: For all patients the mean (sd) DVSS was 14.0 (2.67) and 6.68 (3.67) before and after treatment, respectively; the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The mean scores for girls and boys, respectively, were 13.8 (2.79) and 14.5 (2.44) before and 6.43 (3.79) and 7.50 (3.34) after treatment.
CONCLUSION: Tolterodine combined with behavioural modification for dysfunctional voiding in children with no neurological or anatomical abnormality can be recommended as a first-line treatment before invasive evaluation. Additionally, the DVSS appears to provide accurate and objective data for monitoring the effect of treatment in such children.
