Children’s Enuresis: Some Background Information and a Suggested Treatment for Use by Teachers, Therapists and Parents
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2016
Abstract
The treatment of children’s enuresis has witnessed a number of theoretical and practical variations. While the incidence of enuresis is substantial, there is little agreement in the wider literature regarding the most effective treatment. The present paper reports on a detailed meta-analytic review of the literature, drawing some limited conclusions as to the comparative effectiveness of five categories of treatment, with particular reference to long term follow-up data. While the use of pad and bell is shown as equally effective as retention training at the end of the treatment, retention training emerges as superior over 6 to 12 months of follow-up. Basic instructions are given for the use of this method.
