Mp56-12 parasacral transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation vs. behavioral therapy in primary monosymptomatic enuresis: a prospective randomized clinical trial.

Enuresis is characterized by nocturnal urinary incontinence after 5 years of age and has a myriad of causing factors, including nocturnal overactive bladder and polyuria. It is believed that parasacral transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation (PTENS) has its therapeutic effect in recovering of brain activity associated with self-regulation and attenuation of the activity of the cingulate gyrus, reinnervating the partially denervated muscle fibers, therefore acting on bladder function. Its effect on the overactive bladder is well known, but few studies have investigated PTENS as a treatment option for primary monosymptomatic enuresis(PME).The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of PTENS in children with PME comparing to behavioral treatment.
