What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive device that delivers pulsed electromagnetic fields can improve bladder function in 40 children aged 4-12 with myelomeningocele (a form of spina bifida). The treatment aims to stimulate nerves controlling the bladder, potentially reducing incontinence and improving urine flow. Researchers will measure changes in bladder capacity and muscle contractions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
pulsed electromagnetic field therapy device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-invasive, drug-free way to improve bladder function and reduce incontinence in children with spina bifida.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy might not improve bladder control significantly.

The number who actually took part.

Started

May 2025

Expected to finish

Dec 2025

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
