Peppermint oil for children with bladder and bowel problems
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether peppermint oil can improve bladder and bowel control problems in children who did not get better with behavior-based treatment. If it works, it may reduce symptoms and improve daily bathroom habits.

This trial tests whether peppermint oil can reduce symptoms of interstitial cystitis (also called bladder pain syndrome). It’s mainly looking at safety and early signs it may help your bladder discomfort.
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 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 whether early use of oxybutynin can improve bladder and urine behavior in very young boys with posterior urethral valves. It is mainly for babies whose bladder tests show problems even after valve surgery.
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.
This trial tests whether giving vitamin D to children with 'wet' overactive bladder (OAB) – where they leak urine with sudden urges – can help improve symptoms. It's for children aged 5 and older who have low vitamin D levels and no other serious health conditions.
