Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of participants with complete (no nocturnal enuresis) or partial (A decease in nocturnal enuresis episodes of 50% or more) response at week 14
Proportion of patients with uro-therapy + constipation treatment with complete (No nocturnal enuresis) or partial (A decease in nocturnal enuresis episodes of 50% or more) response in comparison to the isolated urotherapy group.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of participants with complete (no nocturnal enuresis) or Partial (A decease in nocturnal enuresis episodes of 50% or more) response of enuresis to treatment in patient subgroups with fecal loading compared to those without fecal loading.
Complete (no nocturnal enuresis) or Partial (A decease in nocturnal enuresis episodes of 50% or more) response to therapy in those with radiological evidence of fecal loading on enrollment abdominal x-ray (as defined by rectal/pelvic outlet ratio, Leech score, and Barr score) compared to those who did not in the intervention group and the urotherapy group.
Number of participants with sustained complete (no nocturnal enuresis) or partial (A decease in nocturnal enuresis episodes of 50% or more) response 12 weeks after the end of the intervention.
Sustained complete (no nocturnal enuresis) or Partial (A decease in nocturnal enuresis episodes of 50% or more) response at 26 weeks.
Number of participants with adverse effects
Adverse effects of interventions as reported by patients/care givers during visits.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Constipation treatment has been found to ameliorate symptoms in some patients with nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting at night). This study aims to explore if treatment of patients without overt constipation (As defined by the ROME III criteria) will also respond to stool softening and GI behavioral therapy with reduction of their urinary tract symptoms when added to standard urotherapy.
