About this study

Development a 'dry alarm' that can help children and adolescents become dry at night.

Read the detailed description

Enuresis / Bedwetting is a common problem causing much emotional distress. Most children are dry by the age of 5 years, but a significant number of older children still wet their bed. This can be very distressing for child and family. There is also an associated cost due to extra laundry and impact of lost sleep.

Programmes to help children become dry at night often include the use of a moisture alarm. The alarms sound when the child begins to wet the bed, waking them up to go to the toilet instead. Most alarms work by detecting wetness, sounding the alarm when the child starts to pass urine. As such, they still need to change pyjamas and bed sheets.

The investigators aim to develop a 'dry alarm' that can help children and adolescents become dry at night. The alarm will sound when the bladder is full, before the child passes urine. This would avoid wet beds. The investigators have engineered parts for this alarm, but need to work on making it ready for use. This device will enable children to have dry nights whilst learning bladder control.

This study has several phases. The alarm will consist of a small box worn over the abdomen. The aim is to test this overnight, and adjust it for comfort and ease. The device uses a mini ultrasound machine, which measures how much urine is in the bladder. There will be a series of tests to calibrate the device compared to a clinical ultrasound device. Then children with enuresis/ bed wetting will wear it overnight. It will be linked to an alarm which will sound once the bladder is full.

This particular study will determine the feasibility of the product, to confirm the design and specifications, including a comfort trial, calibration and comparison with clinical scans, and operating process prior to a future clinical trial.

The total number of participants is 25 - however this will be split over the different phases of the trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MyPad in people with Enuresis, Nocturnal and Enuresis, run by Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 10 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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?

Bladder expansion (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Nov 2022.
