Hand & Foot Nocturnal Enuresis TENS Study

Bedwetting Clinical Trial

Official title: Pilot Study: Hand & Foot Neuromodulation for Nocturnal Enuresis in Children

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators believe in order to strengthen the evidence in support of transcutaneous foot stimulation in this population the investigators need to move forward with a randomized comparison study using the TENS device on the hand and foot as a control.

Clinical Trial Description

Nocturnal enuresis is a common problem in children which can have a dramatic psychological and social impact on quality of life. Neuromodulation by transcutaneous foot stimulation of peripheral tibial nerve branches has been shown to produce a prolonged inhibition of micturition reflex contractions and significantly increase bladder capacity. The investigators primary goal was to evaluate the effect of foot stimulation on the frequency of nocturnal enuresis episodes in children. ;
