Purpose: We evaluated whether an animated bladder training video was as effective as standard individual urotherapy in improving bladder/bowel symptoms.

Materials And Methods: Patients 5 to 10 years old who scored greater than 11 on the bladder/bowel Vancouver questionnaire were included in a noninferiority randomized, controlled trial. Children with vesicoureteral reflux, neuropathic bladder, learning disabilities, recent urotherapy or primary nocturnal enuresis were excluded from analysis.
