Cochrane reviews
- Complementary treatments such as hypnosis, psychotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, and medicinal herbs may have some effect for nocturnal enuresis in children, however the evidence is from single small studies .
- Simple behavioural interventions, such as rewarding and lifting, may be effective for some children with nocturnal enuresis compared to with no therapy. However, they appear to be inferior to enuresis alarm therapy and imipramine and amitriptyline .
- Complex behavioural and educational interventions are probably not effective in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis in children if not combined with an alarm .
