[Comparative study on sensory integration function in children with primary nocturnal enuresis].
OBJECTIVE
To study the sensory integration function in children with primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE).


METHODS
The sensory integration function was assessed by the Childhood Sensory Integration Ability Development Checklist in 70 children with PNE and was compared with that in 74 normal children(control group).


RESULTS
The incidence of sensory integration dysfunction (76%) in the PNE group were significantly higher than that in the control group (35%; P<0.01). Severe sensory integration dysfunction occurred in more children in the PNE group compared with the control group (39% vs 18%; P<0.01). The scores of all sensory integration indexes revealed by sensory integration function testing in the PNE group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01).


CONCLUSIONS
The majority of children with PNE have sensory integrative dysfunction which presents in various aspects. It is necessary to assess the sensory integration function in children with PNE.
