Abstract | INTRODUCTION: PATIENTS AND METHODS: We randomly applied enuretic alarm therapy in 35 MNE patients (group 1) and desmopressin therapy in 49 MNE patients (group 2). The success and rebound rates after 3 and 6 months were determined. We also applied enuretic alarm therapy as a secondary treatment in 19 group 2 patients with complete rebound after 6 months (group 3). The success rates of patients who have received primary and secondary enuretic alarm therapy were compared. RESULTS: The success rates for groups 1 and 2 were 82.65 and 81.63%, respectively (p = 0.885), at 3 months and 54.28 and 26.53%, respectively (p = 0.007), at 6 months. The success rates in group 3 were 84.21 and 52.63%, respectively, at 3 and 6 months. When these success rates were compared between groups 1 and 3, no statistically significant difference was found (p = 1.000). CONCLUSION:
