Inconsistent
to Poor
Varied techniques and extreme claims. Some sell videos. Most do not
provide counseling. Many are "one person" companies with little
or no experience. Some sell text books written by MD's. |
Poor.
Drugs are only temporary fixes to the bedwetting. In almost all
cases bedwetting recurs after the drugs are stopped. |
Poor
Bedwetter sleeps too deeply to hear the alarm. Bedwetter can't
change his own sleep pattern. and even if they awake, the parent
does not know how to change the sleep pattern either. |
| Comments |
The most effective method of treatment. One/one telephone or in office consultation. Weekly sessions. Complete program. Professionals on staff. Drug free. |
Modeled after one of the most effective and highly respected treatment center programs.
Recognizes the uniqueness of each bedwetter and offers professional , drug free
program. Free counseling by qualified personnel. All materials included. Treating Enuresis
world wide. |
Some send salesmen to the home posing as Counselors. Many complaints about pad alarm being uncomfortable and ineffective. Parent/patient fills out form and mails to company with results.
Company mails proposed treatment and next step back. Very impersonal. Poor follow-up. Difficult to reach by telephone. |
Some
companies claim to be Foundations, Associations, religious organizations and "Not For Profit" groups. They rarely have degreed
or trained professionals. Poor response. Lots of patient/parent complaints and follow up. Be careful!

DDAVP,
Imipramine and Oxybutynin are usually prescribed by MD's. Some are
nasal sprays, others in pill form. Some of these drugs pose a danger
to children and have side effects.Ask your MD for full details before
using. Not recommended. |
Primarily
used to wake the bedwetter, but the patient sleeps deeply and usually
doesn't awaken from it. The alarm sounds after the bedwetting, when
it is too late to catch the bedwetter, losing its effectiveness.
Virtually useless without knowledge of what to do when the bedwetter
is awakened. Does not address other problems associated with bedwetting.
