Objective: to evaluate the clinical evolution in pediatric patients from 5 to 18 years old with non-organic nocturnal enuresis treated with homeopathic drugs.

The sample intentionally comprised 327 patients with nocturnal enuresis from the Homeopathy Clinic at Pepe Portilla Provincial Pediatric Teaching Hospital, from January 2015 to January 2018. Descriptive tools such as frequency tables and percentage calculation were applied to process the data. In addition to the Kolmogorov Smirnov test to compare the trend of the variables between two independent groups.
Results: male children between 5 and 11 years old predominated. In both groups, primary enuresis, the characteristic inability to wake up and family history of enuresis prevailed. In the study group, 76.1% had complete response to treatment, only one case had no response, in the control group only 8.3% of patients had complete response.
Conclusions: homeopathy is a useful therapeutic modality in the treatment of non-organic nocturnal enuresis in children.
