After one subject withdrew from an original group of twelve, eleven children with severe nocturnal enuresis were successfully treated by the Dry-Bed method. The children were aged five to nine years. The group median for the duration of treatment was four weeks, dryness being defined as two successive weeks without a bed-wetting incident. Training periods ranged from two to twenty weeks. Subsequently, two subjects relapsed, although organic and psychiatric factors respectively were probably responsible. At nine-month follow-up 73% of subjects were completely dry. The procedure made heavy demands on parents and clinician; especially in its initial phase. It was suggested that further feasibility studies are required of te Dry-Bed method of treatment in everyday service contexts.
