Study Summary
Children referred to the pediatric urology clinic for primary nocturnal enuresis will be screened for enrollment. Patients who fail behavioral therapy and who meet inclusion criteria will be offered therapy with a TENS unit. Patients will be randomized into four groups. Group 1 will be the direct bladder stimulation arm with electrodes placed onto the abdomen in the suprapubic region directly over the bladder. Group 2 will be the distal neural loop arm with electrodes placed over the posterior tibial nerve. Group 3 will be the proximal neural loop arm with electrodes placed about 2-3 cm lateral to the midline in the sacral region at the level of S3. Group 4 will be the control arm with electrodes placed on the scapula. We will aim to recruit 32 patients per group for a total of 128 patients. The patients will be provided with a TENS unit (TENS 3000 Analog) and electrode pads and caretakers instructed on how to use the apparatus. The TENS sessions will be performed nightly before bed for 15 minutes. TENS units will be set at a frequency of 10 Hz, and intensity determined by the sensitivity threshold of the patient. Diaries including nighttime incontinence episodes and a "wet sheet" scale (dry, damp, wet, soaked) will be recorded, along with any adverse reactions to the TENS unit. Patients will be followed up after one month of TENS with evaluation including the Pediatric Urinary Incontinence Questionnaire, a validated tool for measuring quality of life in children with bladder dysfunction; this questionnaire will be filled out prior to starting TENS treatment in order to compare the effect of treatment on QOL. . They will then follow up on these parameters again after another month (one month off of TENS therapy) to assess the durability of treatment effect. The data will be collected at different time points (baseline, 1 month, 2 months) for each group by itself and the groups compared against each other using statistical analysis.
