Urine pressure test for bladder problems in children
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure bladder pressure in children to better understand bladder problems. It may help doctors tailor treatments for conditions like leaky bladder or trouble emptying.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 7 and 16 years old.
- They will have a bladder pressure test (called VCMG) as part of their usual care.
- They must have certain bladder symptoms, like trouble emptying, leaking, or nerve-related bladder issues.
- They must not have had bladder or urethral surgery before.
- They must not have certain other conditions like cerebral palsy or inherited metabolic diseases.
- They must not have a urinary infection on the test day.

This study uses a special catheter to measure normal bladder pressures during a standard bladder test. It aims to find what normal pressure values are for different ages and genders.
This study looks at brain activity in children with overactive bladder and daytime wetting compared to healthy children. It uses MRI scans to understand how the brain controls the bladder, which could lead to better treatments.
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 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 trial tests a home-based pelvic floor training program for children aged 8-18 who have bladder control problems or chronic pelvic pain. The goal is to see if doing these exercises at home can improve symptoms without needing in-person therapy.
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.
