An interventional study of Physical Therapy in Quality of Life and Incontinence, sponsored by University of South Dakota. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 5 Years to 18 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-05-05.
Sponsored by University of South Dakota · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
A comparison of changes between symptoms of incontinence and pediatric quality of life will be used to draw conclusions about whether differences in quality of life are noted with changes in symptoms of incontinence.
Although positive physiological results are associated with successful treatment for bowel and bladder dysfunction and daytime incontinence (BD-UI), there are few studies examining the effects of treatment on quality of life (QoL) for children. The purpose of our study is to determine whether successful physical therapy treatment improves QoL for children with BD-UI.
Consent will be obtained from parents and assent from children. Children will be asked to complete a global, age appropriate quality of life assessment and a quality of life instrument specific to incontinence. Information will be provided by the parent through completion of a parent report instrument matched to the child's global quality of life tool as well as completion of an instrument depicting child symptoms. Clinicians will report general information about related physiological changes and progress with established outcomes individualized to the child. A repeated measures MANOVA will be used to analyze the results.
