Comparison of Treatment Methods
In order to evaluate how well the Try for Dry
system really works, a group of doctors conducted a study titled:
Office Management of Pediatric Nocturnal Enuresis – A Comparison of
Physician Advised and Parent Alternative Treatment Outcomes. This
graph shows the results of this study, which was presented at the
August 2006 Section on Urology of the American Academy of Pediatrics
and published as referenced below.
The study followed two groups of children with
bedwetting. The first group of parents addressed the children’s
bedwetting without using any system. The second group of parents
followed the Try for Dry system
At the end of 12 weeks:
*70%
of the group who did not use the Try for Dry system still wet the bed.
**Only 10% of the patients following the Try for Dry system still wet
the bed.
This means families using the Try for Dry system
were about 6 times more likely to be dry
than families who did not.
