Brief Summary

This study assesses if using the medication desmopressin will decrease nightime bedwetting in children with sickle cell disease.

Conditions

Nocturnal Enuresis; Anemia, Sickle Cell

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Reduction in Bedwetting episodes

  To prospectively assess if the use of desmopressin in patients with sickle cell disease and nocturnal enuresis will decrease the number of nighttime episodes of enuresis by 50% after initiating DDAVP at 0.4 mg nightly dose with dose escalation as clinically indicated compared to the control group.

  Baseline and 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Quality of life measure

  Baseline and 4 weeks

• Reduction in Nighttime awakenings

  Baseline and 4 weeks

• Reduction in Daytime Fatigue

  Baseline and 4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Desmopressin

0.2mg tablets, dose titrated to effect

Drug: Desmopressin

Placebo

Placebo Comparator

Interventions

Desmopressin DRUG

Two desmopressin 0.2 mg tablets at bedtime for 14 days and monitoring if \<50 % improvement

Also known as: DDAVP

Desmopressin

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 8 Years - 21 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population will consist of children (ages 8-21) with Hemoglobin SS, SC, SB0thal or SB+thal and with Nocturnal Enuresis who are treated at the children's hospitals outpatient hematology clinic and/or the inpatient hematology unit.

You may qualify if:

• Patients with Hemoglobin SS, SC, SB0thal or SB+thal
• Patients with at least two episodes of primary nocturnal enuresis per week or four episodes over the two weeks prior to enrollment.
• Patients with secondary enuresis who have been evaluated and cleared by a pediatric urologist as not having other etiologies of enuresis (e.g. overactive detrusor activity, a genitourinary anatomic abnormality)

You may not qualify if:

• Patients with developmental delay or neurologic dysfunction secondary to stroke.
• Patients with hypertension or underlying renal disease.
• Patients with genitourinary anatomic abnormalities. Any prior renal ultrasound showing normal genitourinary anatomy is sufficient to clear a patient for the study.
• Patients with daytime urinary incontinence
• Patients with glucosuria on urinalysis.
• Patients with secondary nocturnal enuresis who have not been evaluated by a pediatric urologist to rule out other etiologies of enuresis.
• Patients who are pregnant.
• Patients receiving another medicine for nocturnal enuresis (e.g. imipramine).
