Amaç: Monosemptomatik nokturnal enürezis; çocuklarda psikolojik ve davranışsal problemlere neden olabilen, ailesini ve çevresini olumsuz etkileyen önemli bir sorundur. Çeşitli nedenlere bağlı olarak tarif edilmiş olmasına rağmen, monosemptomatik nokturnal enürezis etiyolojisi yeterince açık değildir. Bu faktörler, düşük fonksiyonel mesane kapasitesi, gece fazla idrar üretimi ve yetersiz gece uyanmasıdır. Bu faktörlere yönelik çeşitli terapötik yöntemler denenmiştir. Davranışçı terapi, alarm, medikal tedaviler, hipnoz ve akupunktur belli başlı tedavi yöntemleridir. Akupunktur iğne, elektrik akımı ya da lazer ışığı ile uygulanabilir. Lazer akupunktur, ağrısız, noninvaziv ve ucuz bir tedavi yöntemidir. Literatürde akupunktur ile monosemptomatik nokturnal enürezis tedavisinin bildirilen başarı oranları farklıdır. Çalışmamızda monosemptomatik nokturnal enürezisli hastalarda lazer akupunktur tedavisinin etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çocuk Cerahisi Kliniğine nokturnal enürezis şikayeti ile başvuran ve lazer akupunktur tedavisini kabul eden 20 hasta prospektif olarak çalışmaya kabul edildi. Tedaviye başlamadan önce hastaların fizik muayeneleri yapıldı. İşeme günlükleri; semptom skorları; üroflovmetreleri; üriner ultrasonografi ve idrar kültürleri değerlendirildi. Tedavi süresince yağmur-güneş takvimleri ile takip edildi. Çalışmaya alınan olgularımıza haftada üç gün, dört hafta bir dakika lazer akupunktur tedavisi uygulandı. Çalışma içindeki tüm hasta yakınlarına davranışsal tedavi eğitimi verilip yakın aralıklarla kontrol edildi. Hastalar tedavi bittikten sonra 1-2 ve 3. aylarda kontrole çağrıldı. Üç ay sonra işeme günlükleri ve semptom skorları tekrarlandı.Bulgular: Hastaların 10 u erkek;10 u kız’dı. (yaş ort: 9.4±2.5 ). Tedaviye başlamadan önce hastaların işeme günlüklerindeki fonksiyonel mesane kapasiteleri ortalaması:172.5±59.02 ml olarak ölçüldü. Semptom skor ortalaması ise: 14.30±4.11’di. Tedavi bittikten sonra aylık takiplerde fonksiyonel mesane kapasitesi ortalaması 220.79±65.33 ml: semptom skor ortalaması:2.95±2.17 olarak saptanmıştır. Tedavi bitiminin 3. ayında aylık idrar kaçırdıkları gece sayısı 1.47±1.17 olduğu görüldü.Sonuç: Monosemptomatik nokturnal enürezis nedeniyle takip edilen hastaların tedavi bitimi sonrası 3. ayda yapılan kontrollerde hastaların %26.3 ünde tam kür sağlandığı görüldü. Hastaların %73.6 sinde ise şikayetin progresif olarak gerilediği saptandı. Tedavi bitince yapılan kontrollerde hastaların fonksiyonel mesane kapasitelerinde ortalama 48,29 ml artış olduğu görüldü. Lazer akupunktur uygulamasının monosemptomatik enürezis nokturnalı olgularda diğer tedavi yöntemlerine seçenek olarak kullanılabileceğini ön görmekteyiz.
Objective: Monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis may cause psychological and behavioral problems in children and is an important problem that affects the family adversely. The etiology of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis is not clear but there are various reasons described. These factors are low functional bladder capacity, excess urine production at night and inadequate waking up at night. A variety of therapeutic methods have been tried for these factors. The primary behavioral therapy methods, an alarm, medical treatment, hypnosis and acupuncture are the main treatment modalities. Acupuncture is applied with a needle, electric current or laser light. Laser acupuncture is a painless, noninvasive and inexpensive treatment modality. Various success rates have been reported for acupuncture treatment of MNE in the literature. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of laser acupuncture treatment on MNE Material and Methods: 20 patients who presented to the Pediatric Surgery Clinic with nocturnal enuresis complaints and accepted the
laser acupuncture treatment protocol were enrolled in the study. Before starting treatment, all patients underwent physical examination.
Voiding diaries, symptom scores, uroflowmetry, urinary tract ultrasonography and urine cultures were evaluated. During the treatment
period, all cases were followed by rain-solar calendars. Laser acupuncture treatment was administered for a minute to each point in the
cases included in the study, three times a week for a period of 4 weeks. Behavioral therapy was used for all parents and these treatment
modalities were controlled regularly. After the end of the treatment all patients were recalled at the 1st and 3rd months. The voiding diary
and symptoms score were reevaluated at the end of the third month.
Results: 10 patients were male, while 10 were female (mean age: 9.4 +2.5 years). Before starting treatment, the mean functional bladder
capacity in the voiding diary was 172.5±59.02 ml. The mean symptom score was 14.30±4.11. First month after treatment, follow-up
mean functional bladder capacity had increased to 220.79±65.33 ml, and the mean symptom scores had decreased to 2.95±2.17. The
third month after treatment, the night accident number was 1.47±1.17 days per month.
Conclusion: 3 months after the end of treatment, complete cure was achieved in 26.3% of the patients who were followed up for primary
nocturnal enuresis. The complaints progressively decreased in 73.6% of cases. After treatment, a 48.29 ml increase in mean functional
bladder capacity was observed. We suggest application of laser acupuncture for monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis as an alternative
treatment modality.
