Understanding of and misconceptions around monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis: findings from patient and physician surveys.

The findings of these complementary surveys illustrate that the causes and best treatment of MNE are subject to misconceptions on the part of both the physician and the patient's caregiver. Overall, MNE is perceived as a psychological condition, rather than having a multifactorial pathophysiological basis with a substantial psychological impact. Educational initiatives for healthcare practitioners and the public should help to optimise the understanding of MNE and care of patients.
