Daytime urotherapy in nocturnal enuresis: a randomised, controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

According to international guidelines, children with enuresis are recommended urotherapy, or basic bladder advice, before treatment with evidence-based alternatives such as the enuresis alarm is given. The efficacy of this strategy has, however, not been supported by controlled studies. We wanted to test if basic bladder advice is useful in enuresis.

Design

Randomised, controlled trial.

Setting

Paediatric outpatient ward, regional hospital.

Patients

Treatment-naïve enuretic children aged ≥6 years, with no daytime incontinence.

Interventions

Three groups, each during 8 weeks: (A) basic bladder advice-that is, voiding and drinking according to a strict schedule and instructions regarding toilet posture, (B) enuresis alarm therapy and (C) no treat
