Abstract

The differentiation of therapies for nocturnal enuresis responds to peculiarities of children and their families. In this study three modalities of approach to enuretic symptom were evaluated: the sole behavioral approach, the alarm treatment and the use of desmopressin; we have envisaged the response to treatment for 90 children. In particular, the effectiveness of desmopressin suggests that the cause of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis often lies in the structure of the sleep.
