ABSTRACT
Seven patients complaining of nocturnal urinary frequency were treated following a sleep-micturition chart. By clinical analysis of the data, the causes of nocturnal urinary frequency were divided into three diagnostic categories a small bladder capacity group, a sleep disorder group and a large nocturnal urinary volume group. The three groups were treated by anticholinergic agents, sleeping pills and restriction of water intake at night respectively. With the administration of anti-cholinergic agents or sleeping pills nocturnal bladder capacity increased. By restriction of water intake at night nocturnal urinary volume decreased. In all patients nocturnal urinary frequency decreased and sleep efficiency was improved.
