The University of Nebraska Medical Center is seeking children ages 8 and older for a study on bed-wetting. The study uses medication and an alarm device to help children stay dry at night. <\/P>
\n

William Warzak, Ph.D., and John Walburn, M.D., both from the UNMC department of pediatrics, are directing the study. Participants will receive $25 at the beginning of the study and an additional $25 when they complete the project. The drugs and the alarm will be provided at no charge. <\/P>
\n

The study lasts 12 weeks with an additional 12 weeks of follow up. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: Those taking a prescription drug, DDAVP; those using an alarm that wakes them and alerts them to wet pants or sheets; and those initially receiving no aid but who receive a bed-wetting alarm after a brief waiting period. <\/P>
\n

Dr. Warzak said the study will use a new tablet form of DDAVP. Previously, the drug was only available in a nasal spray form. “The tablet will be easier for children to take,” said Dr. Warzak. “We’re excited to be able to offer this new tablet form to our study participants.” <\/P>
\n

He noted that the tablet does not have any significant side effects. Between 5 million and 7 million American children older than age 5 are bed-wetters. The -over- condition can run in families and is more common in boys than girls. The study is not designed to test the effectiveness of bed-wetting treatments, Dr. Warzak said, but instead will examine the psychological and social aspects of receiving treatment. <\/P>
