Treatment is based on bladder retraining using biofeedback techniques and may include dietary modification and/or medication. Bladder retraining programs are effective but require the resident to have cognitive processing ability, along with the ability to discern urge sensation and to toilet independently or with assistance. If these measures don't work, biofeedback preferably with bladder retraining should be the next step. |
