    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Urology
    • Behavioral Medicine

    Background:

    • Enuresis is a common childhood condition with numerous treatment options.
    • The variety of treatments suggests limitations with each individual approach.
    • Optimal management requires considering patient-specific factors and age.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy and safety of different enuresis treatments.
    • To identify age-appropriate treatment modalities for enuresis.
    • To provide a guide for clinicians and parents on managing enuresis.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and comparative analysis of existing studies.
    • Evaluation of motivational counseling, bladder exercises, and self-awakening programs.
    • Assessment of enuresis alarms and pharmacotherapy.

    Main Results:

    • No single enuresis treatment demonstrates consistent success across all age groups.
    • Certain modalities show greater effectiveness in specific pediatric age ranges.
    • Benefits and risks vary significantly among the evaluated interventions.

    Conclusions:

    • Treatment selection for enuresis should be individualized based on age and specific patient needs.
    • A combination of behavioral and medical interventions may be necessary.
    • Further research is needed to optimize treatment protocols for persistent enuresis.
