Test urethral pressure measurements in children with bladder control issues
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks how useful a special test (urethral pressure profile) is for understanding children’s bladder and urine-leakage problems. It may help doctors choose better care by comparing test results in children who have specific bladder conditions versus children without significant symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 7 to 16 years old
- Have an adult caregiver present to give consent (you cannot be unaccompanied)
- Have your specific bladder-care test plan (VCMG) as part of your routine medical care
- If the test needs a catheter, you can either do intermittent catheter use or safely use Entonox (laughing gas)
- Not have a current urine infection on the day of the urethral pressure profile test
- No prior bladder outlet or urethral surgery

This trial tests if watching an educational video helps parents and caregivers stick to the treatment plan for children with dysfunctional voiding (trouble emptying the bladder properly). It's for first-time patients who are fully potty-trained and 5 to 18 years old.
This study tests two types of exercises to help children with bladder control problems. It compares standard pelvic floor training with a special exercise approach that may improve how the bladder and muscles work together.
This study collects normal bladder pressure data from healthy adults using a new device. It helps doctors understand what healthy bladder function looks like, which may improve future care.
This study tests a home-based pelvic floor training program for children and teens who have bladder problems like wetting, frequent urination, or pain. It aims to see if this training can help improve symptoms without needing to visit a physical therapist.
This trial tests if a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses near the ankle (posterior tibial nerve stimulation) is safe and effective for children ages 5 to 21 with overactive bladder (OAB) that hasn't gotten better with standard treatments like behavioral therapy or medication.
This research study compares the bacteria in urine, around the genital area, and in stool between children with overactive bladder (frequent urgent need to urinate) and healthy children. The goal is to understand if differences in these bacteria might explain why some children develop overactive bladder.
