  • Child

Study population: Patients aged 6 to 15 years who were admitted to an urology outpatient clinics with at least one night-time wetting weekly, were included in this prospective study. The control group consisted of patients who were admitted to the urology outpatient clinic with a complaint of abdominal or lateral pain, who had no NE and had a direct abdominal x-ray examination. The patients who were selected as the control group had night wetness questioned and the dysfunctional voiding symptom score (DVSS) form was completed. Those who had night wetting, neurological disease or diabetes mellitus were not included in the control group.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients aged 6 to 15 years
  • at least one night-time wetting weekly

Who cannot join

  • neurological disease,
  • diabetes mellitus or insipidus,
  • spinal surgery history, spina bifida skin findings,
  • chronic renal insufficiency
  • and secondary enuresis

About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Nocturnal Enuresis And Spina Bifida Occulta: A Prospective Controlled Trial

It is claimed that SBO may be responsible for bladder dysfunction in patients without known neurological disease. Subsequently, it was reported that the frequency of SBO in NE cases was higher than normal children. However, in controlled trials, SBO frequency was not different in NE patients compared to the normal population. Conversely, the incidence of dysfunctional bladder in the presence of SBO in NE patients was found to be higher and the response to treatment was worse than in non-SBO patients.

The present study aimed to determine whether the frequency of SBO in patients with NE was higher than in healthy subjects, the effect of SBO on the severity of LUTS and whether treatment response of primary NE patients changed in the presence of SBO.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Dry bed days

    Patients were called for check-up one and three months later. When waking in the morning they were given a form to mark as dry or wet, and dry bed days were examined at check-up.

    Measured: 3 months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dry bed days (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03543995, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
