ABSTRACT
Biofeedback is one of the unique treatment options available in the management of voiding dysfunction in children. The focus of biofeedback in pediatric urology is on pelvic floor muscle retraining. Biofeedback uses monitoring devices and strategically placed electrodes to obtain and relay to the child visual and/or auditory cues on bladder emptying activity. The visual and auditory cues help train the child to sense, interpret, and respond to the body's messages related to voiding activity. The overall goal is to improve the child's ability to store urine and empty the bladder more effectively.
