Cognitive Bias Modification Training on Internet Gaming Disorder

Not Applicable
Conditions
Internet Gaming Disorder
Interventions
Procedure: Sham training
Procedure: CBM training
Registration Number
NCT03790527
Lead Sponsor
Beijing Normal University
Brief Summary

To investigate whether and how the CBM training will alleviate the symptoms of addiction in Internet gaming disorders.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to use the modification training of cognitive bias to ameliorate the severity and symptoms of Internet gaming disorders(IGD); the neural mechanisms of cognitive bias modification and its effect during cued-induced craving task in subjects with IGD will be investigated as well. This project will be conducted in Beijing, China.

Sham trainingSham trainingparticipants have to complete the picture assessment task ; Approach-avoidance Task(AAT) and cue-induced task in the fMRI;data on game-craving level, game hours, the ability of self-control and emotion regulation are also collected. Half of the participants will be random-assigned into the sham training group; Each participant will do these task twice( e.g. Before training and after training)
CBM trainingCBM trainingparticipants have to complete the picture assessment task ; Approach-avoidance Task(AAT) and cue-induced task in the fMRI;data on game-craving level, game hours, the ability of self-control and emotion regulation are also collected.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Behavioral outcome60- 80 minutes after training

Cognitive bias outside fMRI measured by AAT task takes the response times\[\[Push_game_pic-Pull_game_pic\]-\[Push_object_pic - Pull_object_pic\])\] as the index. The response times (cognitive bias scores) will be calculated under Repeated Measurement Anova by using SPSS software.

Resting-state functional connectivity alterations in brain.30-45 minutes after training

Using seed-based and network level functional connectivity analysis, as well as graph theory analysis , functional connectivity in brain under eight minutes resting state will be detected and compared between CBM training group and sham group

task-based fMRI brain activation45-60 minutes after training

The active of the brain regions in mPFC and VS during AAT task changes after CBM training compared with the sham. There should be an decrease in ventral striatum and amygdala during the cue-induced task. These task-based fMRI data will be contrasted using SPM.

Correlation analysis30- 60 minutes after training

The correlation between functional network organization in brain across resting state ( task-based fMRI) and cognitive bias scores will be explored.
