Oral Midazolam for voiding dysfunction in children undergoing VCUG: a controlled randomized clinical trial

84 children were split into 2 groups (control and midazolam group).

• “The use of midazolam 0.5 mg/kg reduced children’s stress and increased their cooperation during the procedure.”

• “Although the side effects of VCUG are not common, they are important. These complications that can occur in both sexes include UTI, hematuria, cystitis and urinary dysfunction following a catheterization, phobia of urination, nocturia, and stopping urination.”

• “In the literature, psychological trauma resulting from VCUG was considered the same as from a violent rape, especially in girls.”
