Pelvic floor exercises for children with bladder issues
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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 tests a home-based pelvic floor training program for children and teens who have bladder problems like wetting, frequent urination, or pain. It aims to see if this training can help improve symptoms without needing to visit a physical therapist.
This trial tests if watching an educational video helps parents and caregivers stick to the treatment plan for children with dysfunctional voiding (trouble emptying the bladder properly). It's for first-time patients who are fully potty-trained and 5 to 18 years old.
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.
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.
This study checks how useful a special test (urethral pressure profile) is for understanding children’s bladder and urine-leakage problems. It may help doctors choose better care by comparing test results in children who have specific bladder conditions versus children without significant symptoms.
This study compares two types of physical therapy (targeted pelvic floor therapy vs. general exercise support) to see which helps teenagers with obesity who also have bladder or bowel control problems. It aims to find which treatment works better for this specific group.
