Microbiota study in children with and without overactive bladder
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This research study compares the bacteria in urine, around the genital area, and in stool between children with overactive bladder (frequent urgent need to urinate) and healthy children. The goal is to understand if differences in these bacteria might explain why some children develop overactive bladder.
