Following on the research into the use of the long acting
(bonded) dexamphetamine known as Dexten, which was carried out
in the clinic, and the subsequent publication of a paper thereon in
the Practitioner (April 1963) a far larger number of deep sleeping
enuretics were referred to the clinic than in previous years.
From these cases a group of "Prewaking Enuretics" were
definitely identified. This group includes children who were wetting
between the hours of 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. and were treated with these
times particularly in mind.
III. Treatment
The treatments issued or prescribed throughout the year
include: —
(1) Long-acting (bonded) Dexamphetamine — known as "Dexten" -
5 mgms. at bedtime or at 10.30 p.m.
(2) Phenobarbitone gr. ¼ — ½ b.d.
(3) Routine and charting only.
(4) The Sentinel or Downs Bed-buzzer.
(5) Librium mgms. v.o.m. or b.d. (in conjunction with the patient's
general practitioner.
There are 20 bed-buzzers in use through the clinic and 43
cases used a machine during the year.

The attendance, interest and co-operation shown throughout
the year have again made this a very worth while clinic."
