Abstract:
Primary nocturnal enuresis is a common childhood disorder.This review discusses the progress on the treatment of primary nocturnal enuresis in children.Alarm interventions for nocturnal enuresis and desmopressin are the first-line therapy of primary nocturnal enuresis.In therapy-resistant cases,anticholinergic treatment combined with desmopressin can be tried.In situations when all other treatments have failed,imipramine treatment is warranted,provided the cardiac risks are taken into account.More research is needed regarding both the above drugs and non-pharmacological therapies on children with therapy-resistant enuresis.
