Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

the efficacy of Ginkgo Biloba versus desmopressin in treatment of children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Bedwetting among children is a common disorder, affecting 30% at age 4, 10% at age 6, 3% at age 12, and 1% at age. Untreated, the spontaneous cure rate is about 15% a year. Treatment is dominated by two approaches, enuresis alarm and drugs.

Treatment with drugs has largely been focused on tricyclic antidepressants especially imipramine or, more recently, antidiuretic agents such as desmopressin. For imipramine the proportion of total remission is 10-50% during treatment and a long term cure in 5-40%. However, numerous reports of side effects, some lethal, have led to a decline in its use.

One of theory of nocturnal enuresis is deep sleep in children, this the main cornerstone in using Alarm as line of management.

On the other hand drugs used in re-habitation of sleep rhythm seems to be with great benefits in management as GINKGO BILOBA.

Ginkgo biloba leave extract is among the most widely sold herbal dietary supplements in the United States. Its purported biological effects include: scavenging free radical; lowering oxidative stress; reducing neural damages, reducing platelets aggregation; anti-inflammation; anti-tumor activities; anti-aging, and improve night sleep rhythm.

the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Ginkgo Biloba versus desmopressin in treatment of children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis.
