Epidemiologic, video gaming, and nocturnal enuresis information were collected and analyzed by the SPSS software, and significant differences (P < 0.05) were considered.[Results]Children with primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis were more prone to video gaming addiction compared with healthy children (P < 0.0001).[Conclusions]Video gaming addiction has a significant impact on primary monosymptomatic nocturnal, thus control of stressful factors, instead of pharmacotherapy, can reduce this condition as a symptom.
