The effectiveness of dry bed training for nocturnal enuresis in adults: a 3, 5, 6 years follow-up.

Nine enuretic adults who had been successfully treated by a minimal contact Dry Bed Training (DBT) were followed-up after 3, 5, and 6 years. During the follow-up period there has been substantial relapse: 5 out of 9 remaining continent throughout the whole period but 4 relapsing. However after 6 yr eight of them were continent: be it after pharmacological therapy (n = 1), after a booster training (n = 1). As most of the Ss were primary enuretics it is concluded that minimal intervention DBT is a significant contribution to the cure of nocturnal enuresis in adults.
