alpha-ADRENERGIC BLOCKADE IN CHILDREN WITH NEUROPATHIC AND NONNEUROPATHIC VOIDING DYSFUNCTION

Abstract

Selective alpha-blocker therapy seems to be well tolerated in children and appears effective for improving bladder emptying in various pediatric voiding disorders at short-term followup. Long-term followup and further investigation are warranted to validate the potential role of alpha-blocker therapy in pediatric urinary dysfunction.
