Background technology
Many known sleep disorder are had to have tremendous influence to patient.
Wet the bed (enuresis), being especially nocturnal enuresis, is a kind of common children sleeping obstacle.For example, in Australia, sleep disorder is considered to have impact on nearly 750000 children, and wherein about 18% school age population at least wets the bed once weekly, and the every day of about 2.4% wets the bed.Bed-wetting has huge psychological impact concerning those are often regarded as the child of the abandoned child of society.Child misses many important activities, the school's excursion such as spent the night and staying, and under in fact they live in the fear that self disorder exposes.Research shows, bed-wetting may produce far-reaching influence, comprises self cognition, inter personal contact, sexual activity and the impact of quality of life.The child that can wet the bed also often has lower sense of personal worth, but having indicated sense of personal worth will be improved by successfully treating.Unfortunately, wet the bed often out in the cold, for example, in Australia, only have the family of about 34% to find the help of specialty, many people do not know that where asking for help or be apprised of final child will break away from bed-wetting along with growing up.
Can be provided the treatment of wetting the bed, enuresis warner is considered to the most effectively treat usually.But research shows, although this treatment can be provided, many children (greatly between 25% to 35%) are failure when alarm is trained.
Clinical observation child being carried out to alarm training shows, those children that cannot wake up in enuresis alarm process are failure in alarm treatment probably.
A kind of enuresis warner is alarm bell-diaper warner (bell-and-pad bed alarm).Wired body wears formula warner and wireless body, and to wear formula warner be also known.Alarm bell-diaper warner (bell-and-pad bed alarm) depends on a kind of use of relatively large diaper sensor, and during evening, this diaper sensor is placed on the bed of child, and child sleeps on diaper sensor.When body wears formula warner, sensor can be placed in the underwear of child.When child is when wetting the bed night, urine trigger sensor, alarm device sends larger noise.This noise wakes child up, makes him or she get used to recognizing the sensation of filling of bladder, and wishes can suppress urinate or wake child up.The shortcoming of alarm bell-diaper warner is the loudness (usually waking whole family up) of reporting to the police; child's complaint can not put on underwear or trousers sleep (put on underwear or trousers sleep will be delayed urine arrive time of sensor), and washing increases (sheet is still wet usually) and/or sensor shift causes Endodontic failure.
Although wired or wireless body wears formula equipment occur these shortcomings, the treatment successful of enuresis is still considered to too low.For example, existing inventor observed about 82% appear at urinary incontinence outpatient service to the child of alarm failure to train, do not wake up in alarm ring.
