The condition tends to improve with age, with fewer episodes during the teenage years, [ 2 ] but may persist into the teenage years or adulthood. [ 3 ]
Treatment of enuresis for children under 5 years old is not recommended.

Enuresis is defined as the involuntary voiding of urine beyond the age of anticipated control. Both of these conditions can occur at the same time, although many children with nighttime wetting will
There was also evidence for 5.6 to 7.7% of children with PLMI > 5/hr. [20] [21] Periodic limb movements during sleep are associated with a lower quality of life in children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis [22]
Children with OSA also show a higher risk for nocturnal enuresis [29] [76] and it is hypothesized to be caused by an excessive production of urine, [72] [77] impaired performance of the bladder and urethra [78] or an inability to suppress the nocturnal bladder contraction, due to a failure to arouse.
