About this study

Official title: Therapeutic Effect of Sacral Root Stimulation on Nocturnal Enuresis

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of daily sacral root magnetic stimulation for 10 sessions in patients with nocturnal enuresis.Eligible patients were randomized to receive either real or sham repetitive sacral root magnetic stimulation (rSMS; 15 Hz with a total of 1500 pulses/session) for 10 sessions. Evaluation was performed before starting treatment, immediately after the 5th and 10th treatment session, and 1 month later, using frequency of enuresis/week, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Quality of life. Cortical excitability of upper and lower limbs were done before and after the end of sessions.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • rSMS in treatment of Nocturnal EnuresisDevice

    Real rSMS (15 Hz at 50% of maximum stimulator output (10 seconds on and 30 seconds off) with a total of 1500 pulses and the hand of the coil upword. The stimulation was repeated for 10 sessions, 5 sessions per week and 2 days off. Sham rSMS received stimulation using the same coil, the same session frequency, in the same setting, but the coil was tilted 90.

Study groups in NCT02328092
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Real groupActive comparatorThe real group received biphasic rSMS using a Magstim Super Rapid (Magstim, Whitland, UK) stimulator connected to a 120-mm outer diameter figure-of-8 air film cooling coil positioned in the midline over the sacral vertebrae (approximately 5 cm above the natal cleft, which approximates to the level of S2). Stimulation was delivered at 15 Hz at 50% of maximum stimulator output (10 seconds on and 30 seconds off) with a total of 1500 pulses and the hand of the coil upward. The stimulation was repeated for 10 sessions, 5 sessions per week and 2 days off.

  1. Quality of life assessment

    Assessment of Quality of life

    Measured: 1.5 month

  2. VAS

    Measurment of VAS

    Measured: 1.5 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing rSMS in treatment of Nocturnal Enuresis in people with Nocturnal Enuresis, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the number of bedwetting/week (time frame: 2.5 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02328092, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Sep 2020.
