Primary nocturnal enuresis: current concepts about an old problem

Pediatr Ann. 1991 May;20(5):246-51, 254-5. doi: 10.3928/0090-4481-19910501-08.

Abstract

In summary, all children and families who present with nocturnal enuresis should be offered education, reassurance, and ongoing support as a premier component of any treatment regimen. At the same time, the family should be informed about all the treatment options that exist with a goal of tailoring the specific treatment to the individual patient. In most cases, this approach will lead to child, family, and physician satisfaction.
