Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the importance of clinical characterization of children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) in order to improve treatment efficacy. The hypothesis is that clinical characterization by measurement of nocturnal urine production and maximal voided volumes in children with MNE and subsequent treatment tailoring improves the response to first-line treatment approach.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
The number of children who responded to the treatment
Evaluated by home recordings
Eight weeks
The number of children achieving complete dryness (complete responders)
Evaluated by home recordings
Eight weeks
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Change in wet nights
Eight weeks
Study Arms (6)
Treatment without evaluating the home recordings, medicin.
EXPERIMENTALChildren will receive desmopressin without evaluating the home recordings.
Treatment without evaluating the home recordings, alarm.
EXPERIMENTALChildren will receive conditional alarm without evaluating the home recordings.
Treatment based on home recordings, polyuria.
ACTIVE COMPARATORChildren with polyuria based on the home recordings will receive desmopressin.
Treatment based on home recordings, reduced bladder capacity.
ACTIVE COMPARATORChildren with reduced bladder capacity based on the home recordings will receive the conditional alarm.
Treatment based on home recordings, both.
ACTIVE COMPARATORChildren with polyuria and reduced bladder capacity based on the home recordings will receive desmopressin and the conditional alarm.
Treatment based on home recordings, none.
ACTIVE COMPARATORChildren with neither nocturnal polyuria nor reduced bladder capacity based on the home recordings will be randomized to either desmopressin or alarm treatment. If there is no effect of the treatment, the treatment can be switched.
Interventions
The children will be treated with 120 microgram/day the first two weeks. If the child is not completely dry, the dose will be increased to 240 microgram/day the rest of the study period (maximum eight weeks of treatment).
Eight weeks of treatment.
