Abstract

|
Enuresis is relatively common disorder, affecting approximately 20% in 5 year old children. Although the spontaneous cure rate has been reported to be about 15% per year, 1% at the age of fifteen have still bed wetting problems. 50 to 80% of enuresis is reported to be related to physilolgic or psychlolgic cause. Only eneuresis caused by organic disturbance occupies 1 to 205 at most. A variety of therapies have been attempted in most patients including water deprivation in the night, eneuresis alarm clock, and drugs such as imipramine or desmopressin, without success or with side effects. The follow up study was carried out to evalute the efficacy of Kamisamki Tang on eneuresis in 17 patients. They were 9 females and 8 males ranged 4 to 54 years old. The extract of Kamisamki Tang was administered three times a day about 30 minutes after meal. The patients kept water deprivation in the night, urine voiding before sleep, and also did bladder retension exercise and conscious stream interruption exercise. Three patients did not have wetting problems after administration. Good result was appeared in 6 patients and fair in 4. Other 4 patients were not responded. The three with excellent effect were administered for mean 10.0 days, 4 with good effect were for 16.7 days, 4 with fair were for 26.7 days and 4 with poor effect were for 27.5 days.
These result suggests that Kamisamki Tang could be applied on eneuresis effectively.
