What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to investigate the intervention effects of navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on craving regulation in individuals with internet gaming disorder (IGD). The primary objectives include: (1) examining the impact of navigated rTMS over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on the gaming cravings, and craving regulation capacity; and (2) exploring the potential neural mechanisms by which rTMS over the DLPFC improves craving intensity, and craving regulation ability.
