چکیده
The effect on nocturnal activity of the wire mesh element within the 'buzzer and pad' enuresis alarm device was studied using healthy adult volunteers in a single or double cross-over design. On the nights when the mesh was in the bed there was less activity, supporting the finding of improved polygraphic sleep on the mesh and suggesting an unexpected therapeutic mechanism.
