Pathological gambling (PG) is categorized as an impulse control disorder (ICD). Phenomenological, neurobiological and pharmacological data suggest similarities in the pathophysiologies of substance use disorders (SUDs) and PG. Both behavioral and pharmacological approaches, including those that have been empirically validated for SUDs, have shown promise in the treatment of PG. Findings from biological studies of PG are reviewed, and treatment approaches based on controlled studies are summarized.
病理性赌博（PG）被归类为一种冲动控制障碍（ICD）。现象学、神经生物学和药理学数据表明，物质使用障碍（SUDs）和PG在病理生理学上存在相似之处。行为疗法和药物疗法，包括那些已在SUDs中得到实证验证的方法，在PG治疗中都显示出了前景。本文回顾了PG生物学研究的结果，并总结了基于对照研究的治疗方法。
