Copeptin test for diagnosing nighttime bedwetting in kids
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if a blood test for copeptin can help diagnose and classify bedwetting in children who only wet at night and have no other bladder issues. It may help tailor treatment in the future.

This study follows children after brain surgery to see how a substance called copeptin (a marker in the blood) changes and whether it can help doctors spot a condition that causes too much thirst and urination (diabetes insipidus) early. It may lead to better care for children in the ICU.
This study tests whether limiting screen time before bed plus taking a nightly medicine called desmopressin can help children who wet the bed at night. It may offer a new combined approach to reduce wet nights.
This study uses a hormone test (copeptin) after giving arginine to help tell apart two conditions that cause excessive thirst and urination in children. It aims to see if this test can accurately diagnose the problem without more invasive procedures.
This study tests whether transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)—a gentle electrical therapy applied to the skin—can help children who continue to wet the bed at night despite other treatments. TENS may help retrain the bladder and improve nighttime control.
This trial tests an oral medication, iptacopan, for children with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare blood condition. It aims to see how well the drug works in kids who have not tried anti-C5 therapy or who are switching from it.
This study tests whether adding pelvic floor muscle training (exercises for the muscles that help control urination) to a medicine called desmopressin works better than medicine alone for children who wet the bed at night. It may be an option if your child has not tried other treatments recently.
