Introduction / full article

Nocturnal Enurisis (Bedwetting)

ID 2098

Efficacy of Alternative and Other Treatments According to GRADE* Ranking:

St John's Wort (Goatweed, tipton weed, Hypericum Perforatum) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]:

Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.

Recommendation: No recommendation (Available evidence does not support claims that St Johns Wort can help to treat enurisis)

Grade of Evidence: low quality of evidence

Hypnosis:

Recommendation: no recommendation (there is insufficient evidence to show that hypnosis can help to treat enurisis)

Grade of Evidence: very low quality of evidence
