NCT ID NCT07126977
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding video game-based balance exercises (using a Wii console and balance board) to standard treatment can improve symptoms and pelvic floor muscle function in children aged 5-12 with lower urinary tract dysfunction. Thirty children will be randomly assigned to either standard therapy alone or standard therapy plus twice-weekly balance games for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure bladder function, balance, and quality of life to see if the fun approach makes a difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- video game-based balance exercises using Wii console and Wii Balance Board
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a fun, engaging way to improve bladder control and balance in children with lower urinary tract dysfunction.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The added benefit of video games over standard therapy alone is uncertain.
