Home pelvic floor training for children with bladder issues or pelvic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child must be between 8 and 18 years old.
- The child must have either ongoing bladder or urinary symptoms (like leaking, frequent trips, urgency, or painful urination) or chronic pelvic pain (with or without urinary issues).
- The child cannot have seen a pelvic floor physical therapist for these issues in the last 12 months.
- The child must be able to communicate and follow instructions.
- The child cannot have a severe developmental delay or need a wheelchair or breathing support.
- If the child has urinary symptoms, they cannot have certain birth defects of the bladder or spine.

This trial looks at how defecation disorders (trouble pooping or soiling) in children affect their quality of life, walking, balance, and physical function. It aims to understand the links between these problems and the pelvic floor muscles.
This trial tests whether adding ultrasound and muscle-activity feedback to standard pelvic floor exercises helps women with pelvic floor problems like organ prolapse, stress incontinence, or difficulty emptying the bladder.
This trial tests if using a special ultrasound to show pelvic floor muscle movement during exercises helps new mothers strengthen their pelvic floor better than standard therapy alone. It is for women who gave birth vaginally within the past 4 months.
This study looks at whether showing parents and caregivers an educational video improves how well children follow their treatment plan for voiding dysfunction (problems with urination). It may help your child stick to their therapy and see better results.
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 checks how well a home-based pelvic muscle training program works over the medium and long term for people with stress urine leakage and pelvic support problems. It may help you learn whether this at-home exercise plan improves bladder control and comfort over time.
