ABSTRACT: Introduction:Enuresis is one of the most common
psychiatric disorders in children. Classicaltreatments
for primary enuretic children are conditioning (Bell and Pad method, and drug
therapy). Neurofeedback is a kind of conditioning by changing amplitudes of
brain waves. Method: Threegroups
of 10 enuretic children were selected randomly. All three groups took
imipramine. Thefirst group also
took neurofeedback sessions with protocol of enhancement ofβ/θwave ratio in occipital zone. The
second group took non-real neurofeedback sessions beside the drug. The thirdgroup just took the drug. Result:All three groups showed
significant remission (P Neurofeedback
by this protocol was not any more efficient than imipramine therapy by itself.
