Sixty-two children with primary nocturnal enuresis were assigned randomly to one of two groups. Group 1 was treated with imipramine hydrochloride, and group 2 received a course of treatment with the Mozes Detector. Seventeen children from group 1 and 18 from group 2 were tested with the age-appropriate form of the Cattell personality questionnaire on three occasions: at the time of entry into the study, 2 months later and at follow-up, an average of 16 months later. The patients in group 2, who were older, had a higher rate of cure than did the patients in group 1. They also had significantly higher levels of extroversion and significantly lower levels of neuroticism at follow-up than did those in group 1. These findings indicate that better results are seen with the Mozes Detector than with imipramine in older children with primary nocturnal enuresis.
