No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of the DIVA trial is to test the effectiveness of at-home diaphragmatic breathing exercises with bladder hygiene education in female patients with symptoms of difficulty urinating (dysfunctional voiding). It aims to answer how effective are at-home diaphragmatic breathing exercises for dysfunctional voiding. Researchers will compare two groups of participants (a group using diaphragmatic breathing exercises with bladder hygiene education versus a group using just bladder hygiene education alone) for a total of 4 weeks.

Participants will complete weekly surveys on their symptoms.
