RYODORAKU TREATMENT OF ENURESIS NOCTURNA

Abstract

The term enuresis nocturna, as defined by Moriya, means urine incontinence or bedwetting which occurs more than 2 to 3 times at night every day or several days in the week after age 3.
When enuresis nocturna occurs due to organic disorders, such as urethral stone, malformation, inflammation, spinal bifida and disturbances of the central nervous system and hormone secretion, a relatively high rate of curing can be achieved by treating the causative disease. However, as the vast majority (90-93%) of cases of enuresis nocturna is due to functional defect or disease and is very hard to cure.
The authors have employed Ryodoraku therapy in the treatm ent of enuresis nocturna due to functional defect and obtained favorable results.
