Novel Enuresis Alarm vs Standard Alarm for Bedwetting
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests two types of alarms to address bedwetting: an experimental device called the GoGoband® Nocturnal Enuresis Device and a standard bedwetting alarm. The aim is to determine which alarm helps children and young adults achieve more dry nights. It is suitable for individuals aged 6 to 21 who have been diagnosed with bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) and have not received treatment for it in the past six months. Participants must be in good health and not currently taking certain medications or have specific health issues such as diabetes or kidney problems. As an unphased trial, this study provides a unique opportunity to explore new solutions for bedwetting without the constraints of traditional clinical trial phases.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
Yes, you will need to stop taking certain medications like ADHD medications, Tricyclics, SSRIs, NRIs, or any antipsychotic medications to participate in this trial.
What prior data suggests that the GoGoband® nocturnal enuresis device is safe for treating bedwetting?
Research has shown that the GoGoband® device for bedwetting is generally easy to use and effective. Studies have found that it can significantly reduce the number of wet nights. In one study, users who consistently used the device experienced dry nights 93% of the time, equating to about 1 or 2 wet nights per month. This suggests the device is effective without causing major issues for users.
While detailed information on negative side effects or issues with the GoGoband® is limited, high satisfaction rates among users suggest that the device is safe and does not cause significant discomfort. This makes it a promising option for those considering participation in a clinical trial for bedwetting.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the GoGoband® Nocturnal Enuresis Device because it offers a novel approach to tackling bedwetting, a common condition where kids struggle to stay dry at night. Unlike standard bedwetting alarms that simply alert when wetness is detected, GoGoband® is designed to engage users more interactively, potentially increasing adherence and effectiveness. This innovative device could mean a more engaging and responsive experience for children, which might improve outcomes and foster a more positive approach to managing nocturnal enuresis.
What evidence suggests that these alarms are effective for bedwetting?
Research has shown that the GoGoband® device for bedwetting yields promising results. In earlier studies, 85% of users experienced 14 consecutive dry nights, suggesting it could help reduce bedwetting. This trial will assign participants to either the GoGoband® alarm or a standard bedwetting alarm. Although regular bedwetting alarms are common, early findings suggest the GoGoband® might be more effective. Users may achieve better results with GoGoband® compared to traditional alarms.23678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for boys and girls aged 6 to 21 who are generally healthy but struggle with bedwetting (MNE). They must be able to follow the study's procedures, have not used any bedwetting treatments in the last six months, and cannot be on certain medications like ADHD drugs or antidepressants. Those with conditions such as autism, developmental disabilities, diabetes, severe kidney issues or a history of low sodium levels can't join.Inclusion Criteria
