What Is Enuresis/Bed-wetting?
Enuresis is more commonly known as bed-wetting. For a person with normal bladder control, nerves in the bladder wall send a message to the brain when the bladder is full; the brain then sends a message back to the bladder to keep it from automatically emptying until the person is ready to go to the bathroom.
But people with nocturnal enuresis have a problem that causes them to urinate involuntarily at night. Doctors don't always know the exact cause of nocturnal enuresis but some common causes are hormonal issues, physical problems, emotional and psychological issues, genetics, sleep problems, and caffeine.
When to Look for Help?
Enuresis is a common childhood problem that can be persistent. When a family decides to seek treatment for their child it is based on a personal decision where they view this problem as an issue and believe that it interferes with their child’s daily functions and life.
How Can Neurofeedback Help?
Neurofeedback has been used for a long time as a technique to alter brain wave patterning and functioning to reduce bedwetting. Once the dysfunctioning areas are identified with a QEEG, Neurofeedback can be directly applied. Through a process of reinforcement, brain wave activity is improved and symptoms are reduced.
How can Biofeedback help?
Through the use of Biofeedback, an individual with enuresis learns to control autonomic functions, like muscle control. Biofeedback uses subtle changes in the body to consciously register mindful acts leading to self-regulation, which results in better bladder control.
How Can Advanced Bio-Regulation (BRT) Help?
PEMF and Biofeedback are designed to help the Central Nervous System (CNS) to relax. Physiologically, the body is programmed to deal with stress first and healing second, so when we get the CNS to calm down, it promotes an environment where the body can heal itself, improve sleep and increase feelings of well being.
