Electrostimulation in Children With Neurogenic Bladder due to Spina Bifida: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of electrotherapy techniques in the treatment of neurogenic bladder in children with spina bifida.

Methods

A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, PEDro, and Biblioteca Virtual databases for studies published up to February 2025. Eligible studies included children aged 3-21 with neurogenic bladder due to spina bifida who underwent invasive or non-invasive electrotherapy. The outcomes included were bladder compliance, while secondary outcomes assessed cystometric capacity, detrusor pressure, detrusor leak point pressure, and lower urinary tract symptoms. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale and the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool for randomized studi
