Disorders of Elimination:
Nocturnal Enuresis
Adriana Marie Behr
Key Points
››The primary goal in treating enuresis is to teach the child to self-awaken to the sensation of a full bladder and independently go to the bathroom.
››Enuresis alarms are associated with the highest cure rates and lowest relapse rates of any single treatment option.
››Enuresis alarms are simple for children to use and cost-effective for families.
››Combination therapy (enuresis alarms and pharmacologic management) may increase cure rate.
››Early management of enuresis is important for social development and self-esteem of the child.
12.1 Introduction
12.1.1 Definition
Enuresis or nocturnal enuresis is the involuntary, intermittent release of urine during sleep. There are two types of nocturnal enuresis. Primary enuresis occurs in children aged 5 years or older who are neurologically and developmentally normal, but have not yet achieved 6 months or more of nighttime dryness .
