NCT ID NCT07508111
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 80 children aged 5 and older who wet the bed at least twice a week for three months. Researchers will use interviews, physical exams, urine tests, and ultrasounds to find underlying causes like constipation, infections, or enlarged tonsils. The goal is to better understand why bedwetting happens so doctors can offer more effective treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better identify and treat the root causes of bedwetting in children, leading to more personalized care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early descriptive study with no experimental treatment, so it won't directly change care yet. Results may not apply to all children.

Who is studied
The study population consists of male and female children aged 5 years and older who present with nocturnal enuresis at the pediatric outpatient clinics of Assiut University Children's Hospital in Assiut, Egypt. For the purpose of this study, nocturnal enuresis is defined as involuntary voiding during sleep occurring at least twice a week for a duration of at least three months. The target population includes patients presenting with both primary and secondary enuresis, as well as mono-symptomatic and poly-symptomatic forms. Children with known neurological disorders (such as epilepsy or cerebral palsy), diabetes mellitus, acute urinary tract infections requiring immediate treatment, or structural anomalies of the urinary system requiring immediate surgery are excluded from this population.
