title: Alarm treatment: analyses of response and relapse.
abstract: With focus on relapse, this article reports the results of treating nocturnal enuresis (NE) with an alarm. The frequency of wet nights/week was used as an indicator for the patients' predisposition for alarm treatment and thus the efficiency of the alarm. This article concludes that patients with the highest frequency of NE will obtain the best results when treated with an alarm. Furthermore, these patients find themselves in a better situation than children with lower frequency NE receiving the same treatment.
