No effect of basic bladder advice in enuresis: A randomized controlled trial

The recommendation that all children with enuresis be given bladder training as a firstline therapy can no longer be supported. Instead, we recommend that treatment of these children start with the enuresis alarm or desmopressin without delay.Table.
