Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2011
The target population of this study is children with primary or secondary daytime urinary incontinence, who have failed to improve adequately despite compliance with at least 6 months of standard medical therapy. The study hypothesis is that patients who under go cutting the filum terminale - the string-like lower end of the spinal cord - will have improved bladder function at 6-month follow up. Bladder function and its effects on quality of life will be measured before surgery and at 6-month follow up.
