Summary

This trial aims to see if yoga helps children with overactive bladder. Patients will do yoga for 6 weeks and have questionnaires/urine tests to measure results.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and teenagers aged 8-18 with idiopathic overactive bladder, who have a specific score indicating the condition's severity. They must be able to give consent or have it provided by a guardian. Those with untreated urinary tract abnormalities, neurogenic bladder conditions, nerve damage affecting pelvic function, or recent toxin treatments for the bladder are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests if yoga can improve symptoms of overactive bladder in young patients through weekly sessions over six weeks. It uses questionnaires and urine tests to measure changes. The cross-over design means all participants receive both standard care and the yoga intervention at different times during the study.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves yoga as an intervention, side effects might include muscle soreness or strain from physical postures. However, serious side effects are unlikely given the nature of yoga as a gentle exercise practice.
