Abstract OBJECTIVE: To study the sensory integration function in children with primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE). METHODS: The sensory integration function was assessed by the Childhood Sensory Integration Ability Development Checklist in 70 children with PNE and was compared with that in 74 normal children(control group). RESULTS: The incidence of sensory integration dysfunction (76%) in the PNE group were significantly higher than that in the control group (35%; P<0.01). Severe sensory integration dysfunction occurred in more children in the PNE group compared with the control group (39% vs 18%; P<0.01). The scores of all sensory integration indexes revealed by sensory integration function testing in the PNE group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The majority of children with PNE have sensory integrative dysfunction which presents in various aspects. It is necessary to assess the sensory integration function in children with PNE.[Chin J Contemp Pediatr, 2010, 12 (5):341-343]
