Bedwetting Studies and Outcomes following chiropractic care

Chiropractic care of children with nocturnal enuresis: a prospective outcome study. LeBouf C, Brown P, Herman A et al. J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 1991 (Feb);14 (2): 110-115. Outcome: Children with a history of persistent bed-wetting at night received eight chiropractic adjustments. Number of wet nights fell from 7 per week to 4. At the end of the study, 25% of the children were classified as successes.

Chiropractic management of primary nocturnal enuresis. Reed WR, Beavers S, Reddy SK, Kern G. J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 1994 (Nov-Dec);17 (9): 596-600. Study outcomes: 25% of the treatment-group children (those children receiving chiropractic) had 50% or more reduction in the wet night frequency from baseline to post-treatment while none among the control group had such reduction.

Characteristics of 217 children attending a chiropractic college teaching clinic. Nyiendo J. Olsen E. J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 1988 (Apr);11 (2): 78-84. Results: The authors found that pediatric patients at Western States Chiropractic College public clinic commonly had ordinary complaints of ear-infection, sinus problems, allergy, bedwetting, respiratory problems, and gastro-intestinal problems. Complete or substantial improvement had been noted in 61.6% of pediatric patients of their chief complaint, 60.6% received "maximum" level of improvement while only 56.7% of adult patients received "maximum" level of improvement.
