| Core Tip |
This meta-analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials involving 1208 adolescents and adults reveals that non-invasive interventions effectively reduce internet gaming disorder (IGD) symptoms. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), both in-person and internet-based CBT, showed the most significant positive impact. Incorporating caregiver involvement or self-monitoring further enhanced the effectiveness of CBT-based programs. Overall, the findings support the use of these low-risk, scalable interventions as initial treatment options for IGD, especially in young people. Future research should explore long-term effects, compare different intervention types, and adapt delivery methods for various cultures. |
