What this trial studies
This study investigates the brain mechanisms underlying interpersonal interaction issues and cognitive control deficits in individuals with gaming disorder. It employs a prospective cohort design, utilizing multi-modal brain functional imaging alongside cognitive and social psychological assessments. The research aims to develop a comprehensive intervention system for high-risk individuals, incorporating educational, psychological, and neural regulation strategies to prevent and treat gaming disorder effectively.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals clinically diagnosed with severe gaming disorder as defined by the ICD-11.
Not a fit: Patients with other significant mental health disorders or cognitive impairments may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more effective interventions for individuals suffering from gaming disorder.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited data on similar interventions specifically for gaming disorder, the use of cognitive and neural interventions has shown promise in related mental health conditions.
