NCT ID NCT07743515
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding biofeedback-based pelvic floor muscle training to standard urotherapy helps children with dysfunctional voiding—a condition where the bladder doesn't empty properly. About 140 children will be randomly assigned to receive either standard urotherapy alone or standard urotherapy plus biofeedback training. The goal is to see if the added training improves the chances of achieving complete bladder control.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Biofeedback-based pelvic floor muscle training added to standard urotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a more effective, non-drug treatment to help children with dysfunctional voiding achieve better bladder control and improve quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is relatively small and early, and results may not apply to all children. Biofeedback requires active participation and may not work for every child.
