SUCCESSFUL USE OF THE NOCTURNAL URINE ALARM FOR DIURNAL ENURESIS |
|
| Authors: | Patrick C. Friman Dennis Vollmer |
| Abstract: | We report the effects of using a urine alarm, typically employed for nocturnal enuresis, to treat chronic diurnal enuresis in a 15-year-old female resident at Boys' Town. The results of an ABAB reversal design indicate that the alarm eliminated wetting in both treatment phases and that continence was maintained at 3- and 6-month follow-up. |
