Treatment of Nocturnal Enuresis using Contingency Management and an Auditory Urine Alarm.

Abstract

Nocturnal enuresis is defined as the repeated display of voiding urine into bedclothes (whether involuntary or voluntary). It is estimated that nocturnal enuresis is one of the most common problems encountered in pedicatrics (Young & Primack, 1996). The present study examine the effects of using contingency management procedures (i.e., incentive system for dry nights) and DBT (dry bed training) with an auditory urine alarm on reducing the frequency and intensity of nocturnal enuresis.
