Active clinical trials for "Internet Addiction Disorder"

Mobile-based technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate, and in the past decade, smartphone use has become common among today's university students, who have mental health. A lot of attention has been paid in the media to the existence of "smartphone addiction" or problematic smartphone use(Sohn et al., 2019).Overuse of smartphones can cause health problems(Adams & Kisler, 2013; Demirci et al., 2015). As an interdisciplinary subject, this study aimed at university students' smartphone addiction behavior research, understand the information era of college students' way of behavior patterns, exercise and psychological intervention strategy is put forward, to evaluate exercise and MBI intervention,and reduction of university students' smartphone addiction.

The study aims to design an integrated model which combined self-initiated online learning and personalized interactive behavioral support delivered via WeChat for university students to reduce internet addiction level.

The aim of the study is twofold: 1) to evaluate an Relaps Prevention(RP) treatment for Problematic Gaming (PG) and Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) patients recruited from child and youth psychiatry (CAP) clinics and 2) to test whether the quality of parent-child relationships plays role in the effect of RP treatment and vice versa - whether the RP treatment has a spillover effect on the quality of parent-child relationships.

This study aims to test the longitudinal association between parental IGD and adolescent IGD, after controlling for covariates at personal, interpersonal and familial levels and the mediation effects of parenting on the intergenerational transmission. This study is a two-year 3-wave longitudinal study. Students and parents will complete questionnaires at Time1, Time2, and Time3.

The present study will explore the underlying mechanisms of problematic Internet and smartphone use by focusing on how and when environmental factors affect the positive psychological intervention factors. Hence, the present study will provide scientific empirical evidence to design and formulate follow-up intervention strategies. Aims: I. Apply the dynamic system model of addictive behavior execution in Chinese adolescents with problematic Internet and smartphone use and use longitudinal data to track and explore the underlying mechanisms of environmental factors and personal factors on problematic Internet and smartphone use. II. Identify positive psychological intervention factors that effectively prevent and reduce problematic Internet and smartphone use according to the interview and provide empirical evidence for other intervention designs. III. Conducting a positive psychological intervention in an adolescent population to verify the protective effect of positive psychology factors on problematic Internet and smartphone use. Hypotheses: I. Environmental factors (e.g., child abuse and trauma, parenting behaviors, teachers' encouragement, peer support) will affect the problematic Internet and smartphone use through personal characteristics (e.g., meaning in life); II. The effect of environmental factors on problematic Internet and smartphone use through personal characteristics will be moderated by other positive psychological intervention factors (e.g., character strengths); III. Positive psychological intervention (e.g., meaning-based intervention, strengths-based intervention) is an effective intervention strategy to prevent and reduce problematic Internet and smartphone use.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of smartphone addiction and mental fatigue on working memory in university students.

Statement of the problem: Are there relations between smartphone addiction, neck posture, pulmonary functions and functional capacity in children? Null hypothesis It will be assumed that: There will be no effect of smart phone addiction on head posture, pulmonary function and functional capacity in children. There will be no relation between smartphone addiction, head posture, pulmonary function and functional capacity in children.

The general increase in screen time as a time-consuming leisure activity among children and youth has been a puzzle to the adult world. Specifically, parents and professionals who work with children and youth express concern for the effect excessive screen time including gaming may have for child and youth development. The clinical picture of problematic gaming and excessive screen time describes compulsion, psychiatric and physical symptoms, impaired cognitive development, and school performance. The aim of this project is to set up and evaluate an easily accessible family centered treatment intervention for a child and adolescent psychiatry population. This study can lead to reduced suffering by optimization the care interventions for patients with problematic gaming and gambling.

For most people, gaming is perceived as a positive activity. In some cases, however, gaming may turn into an addiction with consequences for the individual health, quality of life and everyday life. Today, there is a lack of evidence-based interventions to treat this condition, called Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD). This study will evaluate a new manual for treatment of IGD, divided into a number of modules and based on cognitive behavioural treatment (CBT). The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and will be conducted at a clinic specialized in the treatment of gambling and gaming addiction. Participants included in the study will be randomized to one of to groups. The intervention group will receive ten weeks of individual CBT-treatment while participants allocated to the control group will be offered a number of short weekly interactive psycho educative sessions. The hypothesis is that the manual based CBT treatment will result in a greater reduction in number of hours spent on gaming and number of criteria for IGD.

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic potential of real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) neurofeedback in alleviating internet gaming disorder (IGD) symptoms by training individuals with such symptoms to down-regulate the activity in their reward-processing-related midbrain regions.
