Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new treatment for children who wet the bed at night, called nocturnal enuresis. The goal is to see if it helps children ages 6 to 18 who have had this problem since infancy.
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 study tests whether a treatment that helps balance brain and body rhythms can reduce nighttime bedwetting in children. It aims to understand how the brain controls bladder function during sleep.
This study tests whether waking your child at a specific time at night (timed awakening) can help stop bedwetting and daytime accidents. It is for children ages 6–17 who have not used other treatments like alarms or medication.
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.
This trial compares two non-drug approaches for children who wet the bed most nights: aromatherapy (using pleasant smells) and diet changes. It may help if your child is between 5 and 10 years old and wets the bed more than 4 nights per week.
