About this trial

Urinary incontinence is the most frequently observed lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) (Samijn et al., 2016).

Higher brain centers responsible for bladder function may be related to the presence of incontinence.

The current pilot study is the first study of a research project focusing on correlations between brain damage and incontinence.
