Relevant studies published up to March 2025 were identified through searches of the Cochrane Library, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. Eligible studies included experimental and observational designs that assessed urinary symptoms, urodynamic outcomes, or treatment response in participants aged 18 years or younger. Data extraction was performed independently by two reviewers, and risk of bias was assessed using ROBINS-I for non-randomized studies and ROB 2 for randomized controlled trials. A random-effects model was applied for the meta-analysis.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Twelve studies (including four RCTs) were included. Nine studies reporting lower urinary tract symptoms showed significant reductions in daytime incontinence (RR 0.45; 95 % CI 0.36–0.56; I² = 68 %), frequency (RR 0.42; 95 % CI 0.30–0.59; I² = 74 %), urgency (RR 0.39; 95 % CI 0.29–0.53; I² = 58 %), and nocturnal enuresis (RR 0.39; 95 % CI 0.21–0.73; I² = 60 %), with an overall pooled RR of 0.43 (95 % CI 0.34–0.55; I² = 63 %). Five studies reported maximum voided volume (MVV), demonstrating significant increases in within-group analyses (MD 40.36 mL; 95 % CI 17.63–63.10; I² = 76 %) and between-group comparisons (MD 34.05 mL; 95 % CI 5.53–62.76; I² = 77 %), for an overall pooled MD of 35.95 mL (95 % CI 21.88–50.03; I² = 84 %).
