Enuresis
Why do some children suffer from involuntary nocturnal urination? Enuresis nocturna - involuntary nocturnal urination or bedwetting as it is more commonly called - is a hereditary disposition and not a psychological condition or organic disorder. It is, nevertheless, a problem that must be taken very seriously. A problem that causes children to become unsure of themselves and frightened of being teased, hampering their social life with their peers.
Just imagine...
... what it must be like for a child who cannot keep dry at night - the worries he/she must go through before leaving for school camp or just going to stay the night with a school friend. Even though involuntary bedwetting is something people only recently have started talking about, studies show that about 15% of all seven year olds suffer from enuresis nocturna (3 children in each classroom!) Between 1-2% of all 16-18 year olds still have a problem.
A safe and sound method...
... of treatment is of utmost importance to both the child and its parents. It is important that the children and their parents are comfortable with the treatment and the function of the device in order for the desired effect to be achieved. All Astrid Leisner & Son's alarm devices come with complete treatment guides and tables that enable you to follow the proceedings closely.
Astrid Leisner & Son...
... have helped more than 80,000 parents and children, providing us with an incredible insight as to how a positive result can be achieved. All AL's customers are welcome to draw on our experience by calling our free telephone support helpline on (+45) 63 71 30 55. From our experience we know that following the instructions increases the chances of a positive result by 15 to 20%. Treatment with an AL enuresis alarm is simple and effective and superior to all other kinds of treatment. The treatment is safe and without any side effects.
The AL enuresis alarm...
... is activated and wakens the child alarm after just a few drops of urine. The child's conditional reflexes are thereby trained - reflexes that for some reason or other were not developed in the early stages of childhood - and the child learns to wake up before urinating or to suppress the urge to urinate. Leading paediatricians and urologists around the world agree in recommending treatment with a conditioning device as primary treatment. Results based on clinical studies of 948 children by Dr. Henning Tøjner show that 83.3% will be dry after the first treatment while around 16% will need a second treatment in order to achieve a sustainable effect.
Treatments for achieving long-term results.
Experience shows that children are usually able to keep dry after 8-12 weeks of treatment. Against this background as well as 30 years of experience in the treatment of enuresis, Astrid Leisner can guarantee an effective and safe treatment. There are however several conditions for success, and the users must be aware of the following in order to achieve a positive result with the AL enuresis alarms: The child itself must be motivated towards becoming dry - never before the age of 5 and preferably not until they are 7 years old. The parents must have the energy to support and assist the child during the whole treatment. Contact to a treatment consultant, preferably at least every 14 to 21 days.
15-20% greater chance of success
Parents who make use of AL's free telephone helpline support have a 15-20% greater chance of achieving a positive result. The treatment consultant could also be somebody else with relevant experience in the use of enuresis alarms, e.g. own GP or healthcare provider. We help more than 80% of the children to become dry when the treatment guide is followed. Astrid Leisner & Son have developed several kinds of high quality alarms in a user-friendly design.
