Neural mechanisms linking treatment outcomes and recovery in substance-related and addictive disorders

This narrative review examines neural mechanisms underlying recovery from substance use disorders, gambling disorder, and internet gaming disorder, evaluating how pharmacological and psychological treatments impact brain processes through neuroimaging evidence. The analysis integrates major addiction models (dual process, reward deficiency syndrome) with advanced analytical approaches like machine learning to inform future treatment development strategies.

Behavioral Addictions in ICD-11: An Ongoing Scientific Debate

The Journal of Behavioral Addictions published a 2022 debate featuring three main papers and eleven commentaries examining behavioral addictions in the ICD-11 classification system, with particular focus on compulsive sexual behavior disorder. Despite some disagreements on specific details, all contributors agreed on the importance of further research in this area.

Working memory performance in disordered gambling and gaming: A systematic review

This systematic review of 17 peer-reviewed studies examines the relationship between working memory (a key executive function component) and gaming/gambling disorders, finding reduced working memory capacity consistently associated with both conditions. Results indicate gaming disorder and gambling disorder patients demonstrate decreased working memory performance compared to healthy controls, with severity correlating to cognitive impairment.

Brain Activation in Gambling Disorder: An fMRI Study of Cue Reactivity to Slot-Machine Gambling

This fMRI study examines neural activation patterns in patients with gambling disorder (N=10) compared to healthy controls (N=20) when viewing gambling-related cues such as slot machines versus neutral images. The research applies established cue reactivity paradigms from addiction neuroscience to identify reward system activation and craving-related brain regions specific to behavioral gambling addiction.

Spirituality and Behavioral Addictions: Narrative Review

This narrative review examines the complex relationship between spirituality and behavioral addictions including gaming disorder, gambling disorder, internet use problems, smartphone use problems, compulsive sexual behavior, and compulsive buying. The review synthesizes literature showing spirituality can function as either a protective factor supporting recovery or a potential risk factor, with implications for clinical practice and future research.

Current Advances in Behavioral Addictions: From Fundamental Research to Clinical Practice

This narrative review examines five behavioral addictions (gambling disorder, internet gaming disorder, compulsive sexual behavior, compulsive buying-shopping, and problematic social media use), their clinical relevance, diagnostic validation, and frequent comorbidity with depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Cognitive-behavioral therapy demonstrates the strongest empirical support for treatment, as no medications have regulatory approval for behavioral addictions, highlighting the need for enhanced screening and public health approaches.

Vitality Structures in Addictive Game Design: A Design-Phenomenological Framework for Understanding Gaming Disorder

This research paper critiques the construct validity of existing 'addictive design' research and proposes 'vitality structures'—a design-phenomenological framework to identify psychologically relevant connections between game design elements and player experiences in gaming disorder. The author argues that systematic identification of these structures can improve the scientific understanding of gaming disorder mechanics and design effects.

CONSORT Adherence in Randomized Controlled Trials for Behavioral Addiction: A Systematic Review

This systematic review examined 63 RCTs of interventions for gambling and gaming disorders published between 2010-2023, assessing their compliance with CONSORT reporting standards. The analysis found that behavioral addiction RCTs reported a median of 57.6% of relevant CONSORT items, with commonly omitted details including abstracts, methodological changes, harms assessment, and effect size precision.

Integrating EEG biomarkers in the neurocognitive screening of executive functions in substance and behavioral addiction

This work explores the use of EEG (electroencephalography) biomarkers as an objective neurophysiological tool for assessing executive function deficits in individuals with substance and behavioral addictions. The approach aims to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment monitoring through quantifiable brain activity patterns associated with cognitive control and decision-making impairments.

Lifetime Alcohol Use Disorder and Gambling Disorder: Clinical Profile and Treatment Response

This study analyzed pooled data from gambling disorder clinical trials to examine whether lifetime alcohol use disorder history affects clinical presentation or treatment outcomes. Individuals with lifetime alcohol use disorder showed higher rates of male gender, greater body weight, family history of alcohol use disorder, psychiatric hospitalizations, and gambling-related legal problems, but did not differ significantly in gambling severity or treatment response.

Factor Analysis of Impulsivity Dimensions in Gaming Disorder and Internet Gaming Disorder

This study examined whether a two-factor impulsivity model predicts Gaming Disorder and Internet Gaming Disorder using survey data from 372 gaming forum participants. Results identified a five-factor impulsivity structure, with only Urgency and Inhibitory Control predicting clinically significant gaming disorder symptoms, suggesting similar pathways to substance and gambling disorders.

Machine Learning Classification of Internet Gaming Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder Using EEG and Neuropsychological Features

This study employed machine learning algorithms on EEG data and neuropsychological assessments to distinguish internet gaming disorder from alcohol use disorder and healthy controls. The multimodal approach combining brain activity patterns with psychological measures achieved 71.2% accuracy, identifying differential neural connectivity patterns between the disorder groups.

Non-Suicidal Self-Injury and Exercise: Associations With Addictive Disorders in Korean Adults

This epidemiological study of 5,511 Korean adults found that non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) was the strongest predictor of addictive disorders (alcohol, tobacco, internet gaming), with over 9-fold increased risk. Interestingly, while regular walking was protective, moderate-to-high exercise was associated with increased addiction risk, suggesting complex relationships between behavioral patterns and addictive disorders.

Screen Addiction: Current Evidence and Treatment Approaches

This review examines the growing problem of excessive screen use and behavioral addiction, noting increased prevalence since the COVID-19 pandemic and difficulty for individuals to disengage from social media and gaming. Evidence-based treatment employs a biopsychosocial approach including therapy, medication, mindfulness, and support groups, with future research needed to strengthen diagnostic criteria and treatment outcomes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Alcohol Use Disorder, Drug Addiction, Gambling Disorder, and Codependency: A 12-Month Randomized Controlled Trial

A 12-month randomized controlled trial evaluated CBT's effectiveness for treating alcohol use disorder, drug addiction, gambling disorder, and codependency across approximately 70-74 participants per condition. Results showed statistically significant improvements (p < 0.001) in quality of life and reduced addiction severity in the CBT group compared to controls, as measured by standardized instruments and validated assessment scales.
