Bedwetting Alarm Research
There has been limited clinical research conducted in helping children become dry at night in recent times. Early in 2013, a retrospective study to analyse how the bed-wetting treatment was being managed in a variety of settings, was initiated by Ramsey Coote Instruments. The interim results were shown in an abstract at the Innovation Continence Conference 2013, in Chicago, and won first place. You can read about this here. This has been completed and been published in The Journal of Pediatrics: Enuresis Management in Children: Retrospective Clinical Audit of 2861 Cases Treated with Practitioner Assisted Bell and Pad Alarm, Feb 2018: 211-216 The authors were Esther Apos PhD, Sharynn Schuster PhD, MAPS, John Reece PhD MAPS, Shirley Whitaker RN, Kerry Murphy RN, John Golder MBBS. FRACGP, Beverly Leiper RN, Linda Sullivan RN, and Susie Gibb MBBS, FRACP.
This will provide a great deal of information in helping us help children become dry at night. There is a difference in Alarm treatment and we now have the proven evidence of 76% success rate irrespective of the age of the child (children were aged from 5-16 yrs 9months).
Bedwetting Alarm Use (Enuresis Alarm System)
It is suggested that children and families that are keen to try the bell and pad system be coached by a practitioner. The results from the abstract showed an 76% success rate with 23% relapse rate in children that had nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting at night) in a 6-8 week time frame. It is a good idea that the families have their children checked by a medical doctor to ensure that there are no other problems prior to going on to the bell and pad system.
