Shock therapy may keep kids dry longer
NCT ID NCT07594353
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether continuing a gentle nerve stimulation treatment (PTENS) can help children who have already responded to it stay dry at night for longer. Fifty children with primary bedwetting will be randomly assigned to either maintenance PTENS or just observation. The goal is to see if maintenance therapy reduces wet nights by at least half at 6 months.
