Abstract: The etiology of enuresis is not completely explained. It is assumed that it might be a psychosomatic disorder caused by psychological and urological predispositions combined with unfavorable environmental factors.
Thirty-seven patients of both sexes (mean age 8 years) were included in the acupuncture treatment. They had not shown any improvement after psychotherapy. During the observation period of 6 months (180 days) after the acupuncture treatment, the statistical decrease of enuresis was evident (2.9), thus confirming that acupuncture represents a new possibility of treatment of patients with enuresis.
