چکیده
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of trazodone in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis in school age children. Methods: Nine patients (7 male and 2 female) with nocturnal enuresis, resistant to regular treatments, received trazodone (25 mg/day, for the first week and 50 mg/day for the second week). Results: Marked improvement was observed in one case, while partial improvement was observed in more that 50% of the cases. Conclusion: Trazodone seems to be a promising new approach for the treatment of children with primary nocturnal enuresis (German J Psychiatry 2008; 11: 7-9).
