%X nocturnal enuresis is defined as natural urination during sleep occurring at least once a month among children aged five years or older. there is a relative consensus in literature regarding possible causes: nocturnal polyuria, difficulties in waking up and a hyperactive bladder. the objective of this work was two compare two treatment protocols which used an alarm to treat enuresis: face-to-face and long distance. sixty one enuretic children aged between 6 and 17 and their parents or caregivers participated in the study. they all attended two initial face-to-face sessions in which they received information on the treatment based on the full-spectrum programme. participants were randomly allocated to the face-to-face (n=27) and long-distance (n=34) protocols. the long-distance protocol recorded outcome rates comparable to those cited in literature and thus offered a feasible alternative to the face-to-face protocol.
