mainly but adolescents are also found among sufferers, it affects all races and children from all geographical areas. There is no any

behavioural disorder in contemporary medicine. Shaiyyamutra was explained in Ayurvedic classics with respect to its clinical features
and treatment. A drug which is nervine tonic and able to increase bladder control and tone of bladder muscles with Grahi, Stambhana
