Abstract

Background: Nocturnal enuresis is defined as urinary incontinence in children more than five years of age, who are adequately mature to achieve continence of urination. Objectives: Aim of this was to study children with primary mono-symptomatic nocturnal enuresis in regards to video gaming addiction. Methods: In total, 200 children, 100 healthy children as the control group and 100 children with primary mono-symptomatic nocturnal enuresis as the case group, were evaluated. 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.
