About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of nightly timed awakening in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis in children aged 6-17. The main questions it aims to:
* Determine feasibility of nightly timed awakenings * Determine the role, if any, of comorbidities on resolution of enuresis * Determine incidence of daytime accidents * Obtain patient and parental satisfaction scores
Researchers will compare a control group to treatment groups to see if there is any impact on nocturnal enuresis.
Participants will be woken up by parents in the middle of the night to use the restroom. In addition, participants will receive 30 minute psychotherapy sessions using telehealth.
