Pages 357-363 | Published online: 09 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the efficiency of alarm treatment in patients suffering from nocturnal enuresis (NE). Material and Methods: The weekly frequency of nightly wetting was used as an indicator of the patient's predisposition for alarm treatment and thus of the efficiency of the alarm. Results: The pattern of relapse is shown in connection with a status 1 year after treatment ended for those who volunteered successful treatment. Conclusions: Patients with the highest pretreatment frequencies of NE achieved better results from treatment with an alarm and ended up in a better situation than those with lower frequencies of NE receiving the same treatment.
