Although internet gaming disorder (IGD) has been listed in section III of the DSM-5 for approximately 10 years, the study of treatments for IGD remains in early stages. Nonetheless, a summary of findings to date and discussion of future research needs are warranted.
The current study reviewed scientific treatment studies with control groups and randomized controlled trials. We summarized the strengths and weaknesses of different treatment strategies and identified gaps in the research literature that may inform the direction of future research efforts.
Sixteen studies were reviewed. Existing treatment studies may be categorized into cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), pharmacotherapies, non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), and others.
CBT is the most widely studied treatment strategy for IGD thus far. Future studies should consider IGD-specific CBT treatment strategies. Medication-based treatment should be implemented with caution. NIBS is promising, and future studies should explore the most efficacious parameters and targets. In addition, studies should consider sex differences in the treatment of IGD.
尽管互联网游戏障碍 (IGD) 在 DSM-5 中已被列为第三类大约 10 年,但对 IGD 的治疗研究仍处于早期阶段。尽管如此,总结迄今为止的研究结果并讨论未来的研究需求是有必要的。
本研究回顾了具有对照组和随机对照试验的科学治疗研究。我们总结了不同治疗策略的优缺点,并确定了研究文献中的空白,这可能为未来的研究工作指明方向。
共综述了 16 项研究。现有的治疗研究可以分为认知行为疗法 (CBT)、药物治疗、非侵入性脑刺激 (NIBS) 和其他治疗方法。
迄今为止,CBT 是研究最多的 IGD 治疗策略。未来的研究应考虑针对 IGD 的特定 CBT 治疗策略。应谨慎实施基于药物的治疗。NIBS 很有前途,未来的研究应探索最有效的参数和靶点。此外,研究应考虑治疗 IGD 时的性别差异。
