New hope for kids with bladder issues: exercise training shows promise

NCT ID NCT06743165

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new rehabilitation approach for children aged 6-14 with dysfunctional voiding, a condition where the bladder doesn't empty properly. The researchers compare standard pelvic floor muscle training with ultrasound guidance to a newer method that adds dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training. The goal is to see if the new approach better reduces leftover urine in the bladder and improves symptoms. The trial involves 38 children and is currently active but not recruiting.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
pelvic floor muscle training with ultrasound biofeedback and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more effective, non-drug treatment option for children with bladder control problems, improving their symptoms and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The new exercise approach may not prove significantly better than standard training.
