Phase 4
Withdrawn
Conditions
Nocturnal Enuresis
Interventions
Behavioral: Constipation behavioral therapy
Behavioral: Urotherapy
Registration Number
NCT02337413
Lead Sponsor
Rabin Medical Center
Brief Summary

Constipation treatment has been found to ameliorate symptoms in some patients with nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting at night). This study aims to explore if treatment of patients without overt constipation (As defined by the ROME III criteria) will also respond to stool softening and GI behavioral therapy with reduction of their urinary tract symptoms when added to standard urotherapy.
