A total of 420 enuretic children aged between four and 15 years and 100 controls were examined by EEG in order to determine their hyperventilation response, which is considered to be a non-specific sign of brain dysfunction or of cortical instability as a result of delayed maturation. It was found that an increased hyperventilation response occurred mainly among children with primary enuresis (bed-wetters from birth). This was true even if the children had a 'uropathy'. It was also commoner among the children with pathological EEGs at rest. The results for those with secondary enuresis (later onset) were similar to the controls. These findings indicate that disturbed cerebral control of the bladder is an important factor in primary enuresis. Psychological factors are thought to account for the occurrence of secondary enuresis.
共有420名年龄在4至15岁之间的遗尿儿童和100名对照儿童接受了脑电图检查，以确定他们的过度换气反应，这种反应被认为是脑功能障碍或由于发育延迟导致的皮质不稳定的非特异性征象。研究发现，过度换气反应增强主要发生在原发性遗尿症儿童（从出生就尿床的儿童）中。即便这些儿童患有“尿路疾病”，情况也是如此。在静息时脑电图异常的儿童中这种情况也更常见。继发性遗尿症儿童（发病较晚）的结果与对照组相似。这些发现表明，大脑对膀胱控制失调是原发性遗尿症的一个重要因素。心理因素被认为是继发性遗尿症发生的原因。
