Frequency of nightly wetting and the efficiency of alarm treatment of nocturnal enuresis.
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to investigate the efficiency of alarm treatment in patients suffering from nocturnal enuresis (NE).


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 I 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.
