Simultaneous registration of sleep-stages and bladder activity in enuresis

Urology. 1985 Sep;26(3):316-9. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(85)90140-2.

Abstract

A combined monitoring of sleep stages and bladder activity for the evaluation of enuresis is on trial. Polygraphic recordings in 7 patients, comprising the preliminary material, have shown single-event bladder contractions without forewarning or changes in sleep stages. A volume dependency of the enuresis episodes seems so far to be a major mechanism.
