Timed waking to help children with bedwetting
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a technique called timed awakening, where you wake your child at a set time during the night to help them learn to stay dry. It aims to see if this can help reduce bedwetting over time.
