Adjustable bladder balloon treatment for urinary leakage
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies how safe and effective adjustable balloons in the bladder are for children and teens with bladder exstrophy or isolated epispadias who have urine leakage. It may help reduce incontinence while monitoring bladder and kidney safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is older than 5 and younger than 18
- You have bladder exstrophy or isolated epispadias
- You have urine leakage due to a weak bladder “valve,” not just infection or overflow
- Kidney function is normal (eGFR above 90)
- Ultrasound does not show concerning swelling of the kidney/urine tubes, or it is stable

This trial tests a surgery to fix the pelvic bone in children born with bladder exstrophy, a condition where the bladder is outside the body. It aims to help children who have not had prior surgery for this condition.
This trial tests an adjustable treatment to reduce stress urinary incontinence (urine leaking when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It’s for women who still leak after trying other treatments and who may be able to have surgery, while excluding certain bladder problems and health risks.
This trial tests if a balloon dilation procedure in the urethra can help people with spinal cord injury empty their bladder naturally. It looks at whether the treatment reduces the need for catheters.
This trial tests a liquid form of the medication oxybutynin placed directly into the bladder (via catheter) for children with spina bifida who have bladder overactivity. It may be an option if oral medications haven't worked well or caused side effects.
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 trial tests a device that helps children with nighttime bedwetting, daytime urine leaks, or frequent urgent urination by teaching them to relax and control their bladder. It aims to improve symptoms without medication.
