Video game balance training for children with bladder problems
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether playing balance-based video games, like Wii-Fit, can help improve lower urinary tract dysfunction in children aged 5 to 12. If you're looking for a fun, non-medication approach to your child's bladder issues, this might be an option.
