A clinical study to assess the efficacy of plantago major in the management of nocturnal enuresis in paediatric age group

The prevalence in India is 7.61%–16.3%. The prevalence is highest in children aged 5–8 years (and 6–8 years) and lowest in children aged 11–12 years (8–10 years). In general, prevalence of nocturnal enuresis is higher among male children than female children. The worldwide prevalence of enuresis among children aged 6–12 years is 1.4%–28%. In traditional medicine, tincture of Plantago major was used in wound healing and in Homoeopathy it is frequently prescribed for tooth and ear neuralgia. The efficiency of Plantago major in treating nocturnal enuresis has been noted in Homoeopathy literary Books such as Materia medica, the Homoeopathic Pharmacopeia of India, and Repertory; nevertheless, there is a paucity of Clinical reproving, which highlights the need for further research. An exploratory Clinical study is carried out taking into account the active principle, phytochemical property, and symptoms gathered during drug proving regarding Nocturnal Enuresis.
