A study of the efficacy of chiropractic treatment in the management of functional nocturnal enuresis

Abstract

A few studies have been conducted to investigate the efficacy of chiropractic treatment for enuresis viz: Gemmel et al. (1989), Leboeuf et al. (1991), Blomerth (1994), Reed et al. (1994) and Kreitz et al. (1994). The only controlled study was done by Reed et al. (1994), and even though it did indicate promising results it was not conclusive. Therefore, more evidence is needed to verify the success of chiropractic treatment for enuresis, especially in terms of spinal adjustments.
