acupuncture treatment. 13 children were treated, of which 8 male and 5 female. The children were on age from
6 to 22. Treatments were done on same acupoints, indoor on a room temperature, with duration of 35-40
minutes. The treatments ware effective in all the children. They stopped bedwetting after on average 8
treatments. The male patients needed 8 treatments and the female 7 on average to achieve the results. There
were more older female patients than male. Older children have done more treatments, as they were all a deep
