Cai T, Yao Y, Sun W, Lei P. Desmopressin in combination with anticholinergic agents in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Pediatr 2023; 11:1242777. [PMID: 37928358 PMCID: PMC10620680 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1242777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The desmopressin combined with anticholinergic agents for the treatment of nocturnal enuresis (NE) remains controversial. This meta-analysis assesses the efficacy and safety of desmopressin compared with desmopressin plus anticholinergic agents for the treatment of NE. Methods We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Controlled Trials Register databases for RCTs published for the treatment of NE. Systematic review was carried out using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses. This meta-analysis used RevMan v.5.1.0 to analyze data. Results Eight studies involving 600 patients (293 in the combination group and 307 in the desmopressin group) contained meaningful data. The results were as follows: after one month of treatment, compared with the desmopressin monotherapy group, the combination group was significantly better in treating NE in FR (full responders, P = 0.003), FR + PR (partial responders) (P < 0.0001), and the mean number of wet nights (P = 0.004); also, the combination group had a better effect in FR (P < 0.00001), FR + PR (P = 0.02) and the mean number of wet nights (P = 0.04) after 3 months' treatment. For side effects, combination therapy does not cause more adverse events in treating NE (P = 0.42). Conclusions This study elucidates that desmopressin combined with the anticholinergic agent was demonstrated to be more effective in treating NE than desmopressin monotherapy, and the anticholinergic agent does not increase the risk of adverse events (AEs).

Abstract
Functional (Nonorganic) Enuresis and Daytime Urinary Incontinence in Children and Adolescents: Clinical Guideline for Assessment and Treatment Abstract: Objective: Enuresis and daytime urinary incontinence are common disorders in children and adolescents and are associated with incapacitation and a high rate of comorbid psychological disorders. This interdisciplinary guideline summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding somatic and psychiatric assessment and treatment. We formulate consensus-based, practical recommendations. Methods: The members of this guideline commission consisted of 18 professional associations. The guideline results from current literature searches, several online surveys, and consensus conferences based on standard procedures. Results: According to the International Children's Continence Society (ICCS), there are four different subtypes of nocturnal enuresis and nine subtypes of daytime urinary incontinence. Organic factors first have to be excluded. Clinical and noninvasive assessment is sufficient in most cases. Standard urotherapy is the mainstay of treatment. If indicated, one can add specific urotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Medication can be useful, especially in enuresis and urge incontinence. Psychological and somatic comorbid disorders must also be addressed. Conclusions: The recommendations of this guideline were passed with a high consensus. Interdisciplinary cooperation is especially important, as somatic factors and comorbid psychological disorders and symptoms need to be considered. More research is required especially regarding functional (nonorganic) daytime urinary incontinence.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to examine symptom severity, posture, and balance of children with primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE) and compare to a healthy control group. METHODS Thirty-five children with PMNE and 34 healthy children were included in this study. Physical and sociodemographic characteristics of the children were recorded. Symptom severity was assessed with a Vancouver Non-Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction/Dysfunctional Elimination Syndrome Questionnaire (NLUTD/DES), a four-day bladder diary and a seven-day bowel diary. Standing postural alignment was assessed with the Spinal Mouse device, and the sensory integration of static balance and dynamic standing balance was assessed with the Biodex Balance System SD. RESULTS Compared to healthy controls, children with PMNE demonstrated increased symptom severity (p = 0.001), increased upright lumbar lordosis (p = 0.018) and sacral-hip angles (p = 0.029), decreased static balance in the sensory condition of unstable surface with eyes closed (p = 0.001), and decreased mediolateral dynamic balance (p = 0.049). CONCLUSION Children with PMNE demonstrate altered postural alignment, static and dynamic postural instability, and greater symptom severity on the Vancouver NLUTD/DES than age-matched controls.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to describe clinical characteristics and bladder assessment in children with Non-Monosymptomatic Nocturnal Enuresis (NMNE) in coastal region of Croatia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Records on 85 patients with NMNE were retrospectively reviewed. Bladder assessments were performed in all children. In this research we: (i) compare clinical characteristics and features of bladder assessment: uroflowmetry, post void residuals (PVR) and bladder wall thickness between boys and girls with NMNE and we compare (ii) clinical characteristics and bladder assessment between children with primary and secondary NMNE. RESULTS There were 46 girls and 39 boys. The total of 59 children had primary NMNE and 26 children had secondary NMNE. Uroflow pattern was abnormal in 42% of all children with NMNE. Abnormal uroflow pattern in children with NMNE was more often in girls than in boys (P < 0.05) and in children with secondary than in children with primary NMNE (P < 0.05). Ultrasound evidence of bladder wall thickness was more frequent in boys than in girls. Girls were more likely to have dysfunctional voiding and larger residual urinary volume than boys. CONCLUSIONS Abnormal uroflow pattern in children with NMNE was more often in girls than boys and in children with secondary than in children with primary NMNE.

[PMID: 32826183 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2020.07.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2020] [Revised: 07/09/2020] [Accepted: 07/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) is a common pediatric condition and there are two firstline, evidence-based treatments available; desmopressin and the enuresis alarm. Although there are many studies comparing enuresis alarm and desmopressin treatments in the literature, most were conducted using old formulations of desmopressin. OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of desmopressin MELT formulation and enuresis alarm therapy in patients with MNE. STUDY DESIGN A total of 130 patients who had primary MNE were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups using simple randomization; desmopressin MELT (Group 1, n = 66) and enuresis alarm (Group 2, n = 64). The patients were invited for a follow-up visit at the fourth, 12th and 24th weeks of treatment. Treatment response and compliance were evaluated using bed-wetting diary and ICSS criteria. RESULTS The mean age of the patients Group 1 and 2 was 11.2 + 3.3 and 10.2 + 3.4 years, respectively (p = 0.104). Complete response rate was similar at 4th week (53% vs. 37.3%, p = 0.162) and at 12th week (68.4% vs. 68.2%, p = 0.257). The relapse rate was significantly higher in the desmopressin MELT group than in the enuresis alarm group (48.9% vs 20.5%, p = 0.007). At the end of the study ten patients were excluded from the study because of loss to follow-up and/or side effects. The overall complete response rate was significantly higher in the enuresis alarm group than in the desmopressin MELT group at the end of the study (41.3% vs 64.9%, p = 0.035). When the intention to treat analysis population was considered, similarly the complete response rate was significantly higher in the enuresis alarm group than in the desmopressin MELT group (40.9% vs 64.1%, p = 0.027). DISCUSSION With regard to the management of children with MNE, our study revealed that desmopressin MELT and enuresis alarm both have high efficacy rates in primary MNE treatment both at 4th and 12th week. However, overall complete response rate was better in enuresis alarm treatment at 24th week. In addition, enuresis alarm treatment also presents as a more favorable relapse rate. CONCLUSIONS Enuresis alarm presented a more permanent treatment response and a lower relapse rate than desmopressin MELT formulation.

Abstract
AIMS Children with nocturnal enuresis (NE), daytime urinary incontinence (DUI), and fecal incontinence (FI) are at risk for behavioral problems, overweight, and obesity. The aim of this study was to analyze the specific behavioral and weight comorbidity in subtypes of incontinence. METHODS A total of 1638 consecutive patients presented to a tertiary incontinence clinic from 2012 to 2018 was examined prospectively according to ICCS criteria. Behavioral symptoms were measured with the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Psychiatric disorders were diagnosed according to ICD-10 criteria. Weight categories were calculated according to WHO recommendations. RESULTS The mean age was 7.8 years, 67% of patients were male. Fifty-seven percent had NE (n = 934), 33% DUI (n = 547), and 40% FI (n = 656). Boys had significantly higher rates of NE and FI than girls. Of all children, 39.2% (n = 539) had a clinically relevant CBCL total score. A total of 28.3% (n = 463) had an ICD-10 psychiatric diagnosis, mainly ODD and ADHD, and 28.6% (n = 463) were overweight or obese. Boys were more often affected by behavioral symptoms, psychiatric disorders, and overweight/obesity. Children with NE had the highest rate of overweight/obesity. Except for primary nonmonosymptomatic NE, subtypes of incontinence did not differ regarding behavioral symptoms and weight categories. However, overweight/obesity was significantly associated with behavioral and psychiatric parameters. CONCLUSIONS Behavioral symptoms and psychiatric disorders, as well as overweight/obesity are important risk factors associated with incontinence, but the interaction between these factors is complex. In clinical settings, all children with incontinence should be screened with behavioral questionnaires. Also, weight should be measured, and overweight/obesity should be addressed.

Abstract
Purpose Brain dysfunction related to areas regarding attention and arousal may occur not only in patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) but also in patients with enuresis and daytime symptoms. This study aimed to investigate changes in computerized comprehensive attention tests (CATs), a psychometric test for ADHD when patients with nonmonosymptomatic enuresis (NME) were treated with anticholinergic agents. Materials and Methods Thirty patients with NME featuring overactive bladder were prospectively enrolled. They were treated with 5 mg of solifenacin to control daytime symptoms. Using CATs, patients were evaluated during 12 weeks of treatment. Four subtests of attention (visual and auditory selective attention, sustained attention, and flanker tests) were measured. For each subtest, four domains (omission error, commission error, response time [RT], and standard deviation of RT) were assessed. Results Only one domain of the flanker test was in the deficient range at baseline. The presence of urge incontinence affected follow-up results on the sustained attention tests. Treatment with anticholinergic agents did not significantly affect attention variables but changes in several variables were correlated with bladder symptoms and enuresis. Conclusions Minimal baseline defects in attention function were seen in patients with NME. Follow-up results for some attention variables were affected by daytime symptoms and enuresis. These results suggest that altered brain function in enuretic patients influences improvement in both attention and bladder function.

Abstract
Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is a common health problem. Approximately 10% of 7-year-old children wet the bed regularly during sleep. Enuresis can be categorized into monosymptomatic (MEN) and nonmonosymptomatic (NMEN) forms. MEN occurs without any other symptoms of bladder dysfunction. NMEN is associated with dysfunction of the lower urinary tract with or without daytime incontinence. The rate of comorbid gastrointestinal, behavioral, and emotional disorders is elevated depending upon the subtype of NE. A careful clinical history is fundamental to the evaluation of enuresis. Diagnostic procedures include medical history and psychological screening with questionnaires, bladder and bowel diary, physical examination, urinalysis, ultrasound, and examination of residual urine. The mainstay of treatment is urotherapy with information and psychoeducation about normal lower urinary tract function, the underlying cause of MEN, disturbed bladder dysfunction in the child with NMEN and instructions about therapeutic strategies. Alarm therapy and the use of desmopressin have been shown to be effective in randomized trials. Children with NMEN first need treatment of the underlying daytime functional bladder problem before treatment of nocturnal enuresis. In patients with findings of overactive bladder, besides urotherapy, anticholinergic drugs may be useful.

Abstract
Voiding postponement (VP) has been defined as a habitual postponement of micturition using holding maneuvers. VP can represent both a symptom, as well as a condition. As divergent definitions are used internationally, the aim was to review the current state of knowledge on VP and provide recommendations for assessment, diagnosis and treatment. A Scopus and a Pubmed search was conducted, entering the terms 'voiding postponement' without any restrictions or specifications. Other publications relevant to the topic were added. VP can represent a symptom in healthy children. As a condition, VP in combination with nocturnal enuresis (NE) is a subtype of non-monosymptomatic NE. Most studies have focused on daytime urinary incontinence (DUI) with VP, or more aptly termed voiding postponement incontinence (VPI). It is a behaviorally defined syndrome, i.e., by the habitual deferral of micturition and DUI. VPI is associated with a low micturition frequency, urgency and behavioral problems. The most common comorbid disorder is oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). VP as a symptom and VPI as a condition should be differentiated. VPI is a common disorder with many associated problems and disorders. Urotherapy and timed voiding are the main treatment approaches. Due to the high rate of comorbid ODD, other forms of treatment, especially cognitive behavioral therapy, are often needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Childhood enuresis is common, but the prevalence and factors associated with childhood enuresis in Africa have been poorly described. Furthermore, most studies from the continent have not provided data distinguishing monosymptomatic from non-monosymptomatic enuresis. This distinction is important as it guides enuresis therapy. OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of enuresis in children aged 5-17 years in a community in Nigeria. The secondary objectives were to determine the relative proportions of monosymptomatic and non-monosymptomatic enuresis and identify independent sociodemographic and clinical predictors of enuresis. STUDY DESIGN Parents or guardians in the community were interviewed using a pretested questionnaire. Standardized definitions were used, as recommended by the International Children's Continence Society. RESULTS A total of 928 children were included in the study. The prevalence of enuresis or daytime incontinence and enuresis was 28.3% (enuresis 24.4%, and daytime incontinence and enuresis 4%); it decreased with age. Primary and monosymptomatic enuresis were the most common types of enuresis. In multiple logistic regressions, children aged 5-9 years were 10.41 (5.14-21.05) times more likely to have enuresis or daytime incontinence and enuresis compared with those aged 14-17 years. Other predictors of enuresis or daytime incontinence and enuresis were: male gender (OR 1.56 (1.13-2.14)); constipation (OR 2.56 (1.33-4.93)); and a sibling (OR 2.20 (1.58-3.06)) or parent (OR 3.14 (2.13-4.63)) with enuresis. Enuresis or daytime incontinence and enuresis was 1.92 (1.06-3.48) times more likely in fourth-born, or higher, children compared with first-born children. Only parents of nine (3.4%) children with enuresis had consulted a medical doctor about it. DISCUSSION The high prevalence of childhood enuresis in the present study was consistent with most studies from developing countries and contrasted sharply with the lower rates reported among children in developed countries. Common reasons for this disparity were the influence of socioeconomic status on enuresis rates and the low utilization of effective enuresis therapies in developing countries. Consistent with published literature, monosymptomatic enuresis was the commonest form of enuresis in the present study. Furthermore, younger age, male gender and a family history of enuresis were strongly associated with enuresis. A major limitation of the study was the lack of use of a voiding diary. CONCLUSION Childhood enuresis was common in the community but parents rarely sought medical attention. Predictors of enuresis were younger age, male gender, constipation, higher birth order, and a family history of enuresis.

Abstract
The evidence for organic pathogenetic factors in enuresis and the discovery of effective therapies targeting the bladder and/or nocturnal diuresis have overwhelmed every potential role of psychological factors in pathogenesis and treatment. However, psychopathology is still important in enuresis because according to the document of the International Children's Continence Society (ICCS) 20-30% of the children with enuresis have at least one psychological/psychiatric disorder at rates two times higher than non-wetting children. The most common comorbid disorder with enuresis is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The aim of this review is to translate the existing evidence on the importance of a psychological screening into daily clinical practice of the medical practitioner. The use of the minimal psychological screening tool should be considered mandatory in each primary setting. If psychological problems are indicated, referral of the patient to a multidisciplinary setting should be considered, not only to allow psychological assessment to screen for a possible psychopathology, but also since therapy resistance might be expected. This review concentrates on two items from psychopathology/psychotherapy that might predict insufficient treatment response: the psychological comorbidities as described according to the DSM-5 criteria and the underestimated importance of therapy adherence. Adherence is a cornerstone of effective therapy in enuresis. It is a problem involving the doctor, the patient, and the parents. Increasing adherence takes effort and is time-consuming. But it is worthwhile knowing that several studies have demonstrated that high adherence is associated with high therapy success of enuresis. Eventually, this is the ultimate goal of treatment.

Abstract
Background/Aims: Primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis is the most frequent (85%) type of enuresis in children. However, there is limited research on the effect of posterior tibial nerve stimulation on monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis in children. This study investigated the effect of posterior tibial nerve stimulation on primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis in children. Methods: This controlled exposure study was conducted using a pretest–posttest design between March and December 2014. Participants (n=80) were randomly distributed to two study groups (control and intervention) using block randomisation. Participants in the control group were given and instructed on how to use a bedwetting alarm in addition to medical treatment for 12 weeks, whereas participants in the intervention group received posterior tibial nerve stimulation in addition to medical treatment for 12 weeks. The frequency of nocturnal enuresis, maximum voided volume and quality of life were evaluated before and after treatment. Results: Comparative analysis between pre- and post-treatment data revealed significant differences in both groups across all measured variables (p<0.05), with significant improvements in all three outcome measures found in the intervention group. Post-treatment, the intervention group demonstrated decreased frequency of nocturnal enuresis and improved maximum voided volume and quality of life. Conclusions: Posterior tibial nerve stimulation is an effective and safe approach for the treatment of primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis and control of bedwetting in children.

Role of Urodynamic Study in Nocturnal Enuresis: Urodynamic Findings and Treatment Outcome Correlation in Children with Pharmacotherapy-resistant Monosymptomatic Nocturnal Enuresis or Severe Non-monosymptomatic Nocturnal Enuresis. Low Urin Tract Symptoms 2013; 6:88-93. [PMID: 26663546 DOI: 10.1111/luts.12024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2013] [Revised: 04/09/2013] [Accepted: 04/22/2013] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine whether or not a urodynamic study (UDS) is beneficial for management of pediatric nocturnal enuresis (NE), especially in pharmacoresistant monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PRMNE) or severe non-monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (NMNE) patients. METHODS Children with PRMNE or severe NMNE who underwent a UDS for the process of NE treatment were retrospectively reviewed. The UDS findings of patients and treatment outcomes of subsequent tailored therapies according to the UDS findings were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 80 children (50 boys and 30 girls, mean age 8.4 ± 2.2 years), 19 of which were diagnosed with PRMNE and 61 of which were diagnosed with NMNE, were included in the final analysis. Of the 19 PRMNE children, 12 (63.2%) demonstrated abnormal UDS findings. Ten demonstrated detrusor overactivity (DO) with or without decreased cystometric bladder capacity (CBC); the treatment outcomes markedly improved in all of the children after anticholinergics were added to the initial desmopressin therapy. Biofeedback was found to be helpful for two children with detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia. All of the total 61 children with NMNE demonstrated abnormal urodynamic findings of DO with or without decreased CBC, and 42 (68.9%) achieved more than partial response (> 50% decrease in the number of wet nights) when given a combination therapy of anticholinergics and desmopressin. CONCLUSIONS The urodynamic findings were helpful for guiding children with PRMNE in the proper choice of further treatment strategies. A routine UDS should not be recommended prior to a first-line combination treatment in children with NMNE.

Abstract
PURPOSE This document represents the consensus guidelines recommended by the ICCS on how to evaluate and treat children with nonmonosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (NMNE). The document is intended to be clinically useful in primary, secondary and tertiary care. MATERIALS AND METHODS Discussions were held by the board of the ICCS and a committee was appointed to draft this document. The document was then made available to the members of the society on the web site. The comments were vetted and amendments were made as necessary to the document. RESULTS The main scope of the document is the treatment of NMNE with drugs other than desmopressin-based therapy. Guidelines on the assessment, and nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic management of children with NMNE are presented. CONCLUSIONS The text should be regarded as an expert statement, not a formal systematic review of evidence-based medicine. It so happens that the evidence behind much of what we do in the care of enuretic children is quite weak. We do, however, intend to present what evidence there is, and to give preference to this rather than to experience-based medicine, whenever possible.

Abstract
Primary nocturnal enuresis is a common childhood disorder. Treatment approaches bridge the psychological and medical fields. A substantial body of literature addresses the various ways of treating enuresis, from pharmaceuticals to behavioural interventions. The medical and psychological literatures have proceeded relatively independently from one another and there has been little interconnection between the US and international literatures, resulting in a lack of discourse and integration among researchers investigating treatment outcomes for enuresis. This review examined the evidence base for treatments of primary nocturnal enuresis in children. Psychological, pharmaceutical and multi-component interventions are discussed. This review sought to provide an integrated interdisciplinary and international perspective on treatment efficacy for nocturnal enuresis by expressly gathering publications from psychological and medical fields, as well as US and international sources. The literature supported the urine alarm as the most effective intervention for nocturnal enuresis and demonstrated the benefit of combining the urine alarm with other components, both behavioural and pharmaceutical. In particular, recent literature showed that the urine alarm, when used in conjunction with antidiuretic medication (i.e. desmopressin), leads to more dry nights earlier in the conditioning process. Disparities between the different literatures were discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate afferent pathway dysfunction in children with primary nocturnal enuresis by measuring pudendal somatosensory evoked potential and tibial somatosensory evoked potential. METHODS Subjects with primary nocturnal enuresis, 36 boys and 18 girls, aged from 5 to 16 years, were enrolled in this study: 24 subjects had complicated primary enuresis (CPE) and 30 subjects had monosymptomatic primary enuresis (MPE). There were no differences in bodyweight or gender between the MPE and CPE groups (P > 0.05). All of the children underwent physical examination, urine analysis, urinary ultrasound and spinal magnetic resonance imaging. Only subjects without urological and neurological abnormalities (with the exception of spina bifida occulta, which was found in some of the patients) were included in this neurophysiological study. RESULTS There were 20 children who were positively recorded with pudendal somatosensory evoked potential in the CPE group, and all of the children in the MPE group were positively recorded (P < 0.05). Positive records of tibial somatosensory evoked potential were successfully achieved in both groups. Furthermore, the pudendal and tibial conductive velocity were slower as compared to the normal range, especially in children in the CPE group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Afferent pathway function may be impaired by some factors, which should be considered by both clinicians and parents.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this national, multicenter, retrospective survey we tested whether structured withdrawal of desmopressin, in which dose frequency rather than dose quantity was gradually decreased, would improve outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Enrolled in the study were 487 monosymptomatic enuretic patients from a total of 181 centers (The Enuresis Algorithm of Marschall Survey Group). At study outset 41% of patients had 7 wet nights per week, 45% had 3 to 6 and 14% had fewer than 3. All patients were treated with desmopressin, which was abruptly terminated or tapered with analogue by a structured scheme. Response rates were compared in the groups according to International Children's Continence Society guidelines. RESULTS The 173 children with abrupt termination had a 51% response rate, including a full and partial response in 44.1% and 27%, respectively, and no response in 22%. The 314 children with tapering had a 72% response rate, including a full and partial response in 66.8% and 24%, and no response in 4% (p <0.0001). Enuresis frequency with abrupt termination decreased from 21 wet nights per month before treatment to 6. The tapering group had 21 wet nights per months before and 2 after treatment (p <0.0001). Followup at 1 month showed fewer than 2 wet nights per month in 57% of cases with abrupt termination and in 80% with tapering (p <0.0001). Pretreatment had no influence. No severe side effects occurred. CONCLUSIONS This national, multicenter, retrospective analysis proves that antidiuretic treatment followed by a structured withdrawal program is superior to regular treatment with abrupt termination in enuretic children. Hence, desmopressin followed by structured withdrawal should be the standard. It is also superior to published outcomes of alarm treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the treatment of childhood nocturnal enuresis the enuresis alarm has consistently proved effective. However, the various proposals advanced to explain its therapeutic mechanism generally lack empirical support. In this clinical trial we investigated the hypothesis that the alarm promotes reduced nocturnal urine production through increased urine concentration (enabling the child to sleep through the night). MATERIAL AND METHODS Measurements of urinary vasopressin and osmolality were made pre- and post-alarm treatment in a group (n=12) of outpatient children (aged 7-12 years) with severe (more than four times a week) nocturnal enuresis. RESULTS Of the study group, 75% achieved the success criteria, with 89% predominantly sleeping through the night on dry nights, confirming that arousability is unlikely to be the principal mode of action. All those becoming dry showed an increase in urine concentration post-treatment. For half this was associated with an increase in post-treatment vasopressin whilst for the rest, although increases in osmolality were observed, there was no associated increase in vasopressin. CONCLUSIONS Although based on a small sample this study offers an insight into possible therapeutic mechanisms of an enuresis alarm. It suggests that most children who become dry sleep through the night and that increased nocturnal urine concentration (and thus reduced urine volume) is likely to be the means whereby this is achieved. Furthermore, the study suggests two possible mechanisms whereby nocturnal urine concentration is achieved: either increased production of vasopressin or enhanced water transport across the urothelium.

Abstract
Enuresis is considered to be the most prevalent of all childhood problems with important psychosocial consequences. Thorough research by both medical and psychological disciplines has resulted in a lack of agreement concerning definitions and terminology. Psychiatric classification systems stress phenomenological aspects such as age, frequency and duration of wetting episodes, but are not based on pathophysiologic aspects, whereas the International Children's Continence Society recommend distinguishing between monosymptomatic enuresis and complex/non-monosymptomatic enuresis depending on the absence or presence of bladder dysfunctions. Several epidemiological and cross-sectional studies show higher scores for behavioral problems in children with enuresis. Parental reports suggest more externalizing problems, attention/hyperactive problems and anxious/withdrawn behavior, however, no difference has been demonstrated in children's self-report concerning internalizing problems. Four different viewpoints relating to the association between enuresis and psychopathology are described, including their clinical implications. In conclusion, enuresis and daytime wetting is seen as a 'biopsychosocial' problem with evidence for pathophysiologic causes and is often associated psychiatric/psychological problems.
