ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how common problems with urination, like difficulty emptying the bladder or accidental leaking, are in children aged 4 to 14 years old who live in the El Ghrbia area. The study also aims to find out what factors might increase the chances of these urinary problems in school-aged kids.

Children between 4 and 14 years old who live locally may take part, as long as they don’t have certain known medical conditions affecting their urinary system or nervous system, and have not had injuries to their back or urinary tract. Parents will be asked if they agree to participate. Since the study is still not recruiting, interested families can look out for when it opens. Participants will likely be asked questions and possibly undergo simple tests to help the researchers understand how common these urinary issues are and what might cause them. This information could help improve care and support for children with these kinds of bladder problems in the future.
