Caffeine restriction can help improve and reduce the severity of primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE), according to a study.
Sadra Rezakhaniha and colleagues investigated the effect of caffeine restriction on the improvement and severity of PMNE in a randomized clinical trial involving 534 children aged 6 to 15 years. Caffeine consumption was <30 mg/day in the intervention group and 80 to 110 mg/day in the control group.
Before caffeine restriction, the mean number of bed-wettings was 3.5 and 3.4 times/week in the intervention and control groups, respectively. The researchers found that at one month after the intervention, the mean number of bed-wettings was 2.3 and 3.2 times/week in the intervention and control groups, respectively. In the intervention group, caffeine restriction significantly reduced the severity of enuresis. Improvement (dry at night) occurred in 20.2 and 6.7% of children in the caffeine restriction and control groups, respectively, with a relative risk of 0.615. Caffeine restriction significantly reduced enuresis, with a number-needed-to-treat of 7.417.
"Caffeine restriction can help reduce PMNE or its severity," the authors write. "Constructive limitation of caffeine is suggested as one of the first-line treatments in the management of PMNE."

In soda…..iced and hot tea and coffee .
……
Our kids do not get caffeinated drinks at home barring the occasional hot coco and rarely when we eat out.
As a parent you are suppose to control what your children are eating and drinking.
We can’t be at kids side 24/7 …….I never had soda in the home though .
….
Either the parents were buying them, they were stealing them or they were accepting them from strangers.
In all cases the parents have bigger problems then what little Johnny is drinking.
They're NUTS ENOUGH as it is, LOL!
//////////
True enough but in today's environment it is vastly different from the past. jmo
I did.
I did. Drink coffee at age 6 that is.
Funnel + Hose + Duct Tape + Jug = Reduce Bed-Wetting
Works with beer also
Marking this one for review in 10 to 20 years.
Someone should tell Dr. Jill
