title: Desmopressin versus behavioral modifications as initial treatment of primary nocturnal enuresis.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of desmopressin to behavioral modifications as the initial treatment of primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE). Study results determined that either intervention led to a significant reduction in PMNE episodes. These results suggest that either method is equally effective for treatment of PMNE.
