Abstract
Introduction: Enuresis is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in children. Classical treatments for primary enuretic children are conditioning (Bell and Pad method, and drug therapy). Neurofeedback is a kind of conditioning by changing amplitudes of brain waves. Method: Three groups of 10 enuretic children were selected randomly. All three groups took imipramine. The first group also took neurofeedback sessions with protocol of enhancement of β/θ wave ratio in occipital zone. The second group took non-real neurofeedback sessions beside the drug. The third group just took the drug. Result: All three groups showed significant remission (P Neurofeedback by this protocol was not any more efficient than imipramine therapy by itself.

Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback which deals with brain waves and it shows function of brain by giving feedback to the patient and treats the disorder by conditioning
No significant differences were observed between the three groups in terms of age (P-value = 0.354), gender (P-Value = 0.879) and family history of enuresis (P-Value = 0.430)
Summary
Enuresis is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in children. Classical treatments for primary enuretic children are conditioning (Bell and Pad method, and drug therapy). Method: Three groups of 10 enuretic children were selected randomly. The first group took neurofeedback sessions with protocol of enhancement of β/θ wave ratio in occipital zone. The second group took non-real neurofeedback sessions beside the drug. Conclusion: Neurofeedback by this protocol was not any more efficient than imipramine therapy by itself. Various modalities of treatment exist, including Bell and Pad method and drug therapy [5] [6].
