Study Description

Nocturnal enuresis is a common issue in children, and use of bedwetting alarms has shown the best long-term success. However, use of alarms is very time-intensive, often taking months before yielding results. Researchers in the division of pediatric urology are initiating a randomized controlled study comparing a standard bedwetting alarm with a newly developed technology, with the hope that the new alarm will result in better, more rapid, and easier treatment for bedwetting.

Children between the ages of 5 to 15 years old who have issues with bedwetting after successful toilet training may qualify for the study.

Participants must first be evaluated by a pediatric urology specialist.
