Abstract

Background: Different TREATMENT modalities have been recommended for ENURESIS which is a common childhood problem. To our knowledge, the effect of INTERFERENTIAL CURRENTS (IF) on ENURESIS has not been studied previously, although there are some studies on the effect ofelectrotherapy in the TREATMENT of this disorder. Materials and Methods: In this study 40 patients who were unresponsive to other modalities of TREATMENT for ENURESIS, were selected for IF therapy (3 times/wk, 15 minutes per session, up to a total of 12 sessions). Half of the children had used medications previously with no response. None of them had used an ENURESIS alarm. Results: The age range of the children was 5 to 15 years (mean=9.2 years) and half of them were female. Complete response was observed in 6 patients (all of them were female) and partial response (at least 50% reduction in the number of wet nights) was seen in 21 cases. Overall 67.5% of the cases had complete or partial responses. The condition remained unchanged in 23 patients who had responded for about 8 weeks after completing the TREATMENT. There was no significant difference in clinical response between patients who had or had not received any previous medication. While, only one of the 8 patients with secondary ENURESIS was unresponsive, 12 out of 32 patients with primary ENURESIS were unresponsive to IF therapy. There was no correlation between the response and age. No complication was found during the study. Conclusion: It can be concluded that IF is effective in reducing ENURESIS and with more trials in the future, it may be recommended as a modality of TREATMENT.
