Brain rhythm study for bedwetting in children
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at whether adjusting the body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) can help children who wet the bed at night. Participants will have brain scans and receive treatment to regulate their sleep-wake cycle, hoping to reduce bedwetting episodes.
