Urodynamic characterization in children with lower urinary tract symptoms and comorbid ADHD: a retrospective matched case-control study

Children with ADHD display significant functional bladder abnormalities on urodynamic testing, particularly reduced bladder capacity, increased detrusor pressure during filling, and heightened detrusor activity. ADHD may influence bladder function, at least in part, through neurobehavioral mechanisms. These findings provide valuable clinical insights for the management of LUTS in children with ADHD and underscore the importance of early screening and intervention. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and to develop effective therapeutic strategies.
