Can a Full-Body rehab program help children stop wetting?
NCT ID NCT06231394
First seen Sep 01, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a 10-week multimodal pelvic floor rehabilitation program in children aged 5 to 18 with different types of urinary incontinence, including daytime wetting, bedwetting, or both. The program combines education, bladder and bowel training, manual techniques, and exercises like diaphragmatic breathing and pelvic floor muscle training. Researchers will measure changes in urinary symptoms and muscle function to see if this comprehensive approach helps and which incontinence type benefits most.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- multimodal pelvic floor rehabilitation program
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could offer a non-drug, non-surgical way to reduce or resolve urinary incontinence in children, improving their comfort and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with no comparison group, so results may not apply to all children. The program requires commitment, and some children may not respond to the exercises.
