How can I get my son to stop wetting the bed?

How can I get my son to stop wetting the bed? We’ve seen gp, pead, incont nurse, psychologist and had ultrasounds etc. We’ve limited drinks during the afternoon, woken him up through the night, tried bed wetting alarm. Literally tried everything. I don’t know what else to do. He’s almost 12 (and ADHD if that makes a difference)? Any advice welcome! Thankyou

Bed wetting medication and ADHD medication have both been used.

My friends daughter got diagnosed with adhd after similar experiences, accept she would wet herself at school too. Adhd medication helped

A friend of mine was told to stop limiting fluid and do the opposite, make them drink a lot because full bladders give stronger signals to the brain. Slowly filling bladders don't. It worked for her child

I grew up a bedwetter. The only thing that got me to stop was a nasal spray prescribed by my doctor. I can’t remember the name of it but it was like magic! Might be worth asking your GP about it.
