본 연구는 뉴로피드백 (Neurofeedback) 훈련이 게임중독 증상이 있는 대학생들의 뇌파, 다차원적 충동성, 감각추구, 게임중독 증상 및 게임 갈망에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위한 것이다. 386명의 대학생을 대상으로 "한국형 성인용 게임중독 척도 (KGAS), 다차원적 충동성 척도 (UPPS-P), 역학조사센터 우울증 척도 (CES-D)"를 실시하였고, 이를 토대로 12명의 대학생을 처치집단에 6명, 통제집단에 6명씩 배정하였다. 뉴로피드백 집단에게 총 20회기의 뉴로피드백 훈련을 실시하였고, 통제집단에는 어떠한 처치도 실시하지 않았다. 연구 결과, 뉴로피드백 집단은 통제집단에 비해 뇌파, 게임중독 증상 심도와 충동성에서 유의한 향상이 있었고, 이러한 향상은 추적 조사에서도 유지되었다.

Objectives: Gaming disorder has been viewed as a disease in the DSM-5 and ICD-11. Its essential symptoms are loss of control over gaming, gaming becoming a markedly prioritized activity over other activities of daily living, and continued and excessive use of gaming despite negative problems occurring. Methods: Children and adolescents are especially vulnerable to gaming disorder because the striatal pathways related to reward develop earlier than the control regions of the prefrontal cortex. It is also associated with decreased dopamine D2 receptors. Addiction is related to 'want' and is explained by incentive-sensitization. In addition, allostasis, in which homeostasis is continuously achieved at a new target value, is also related to gaming disorder. In addition, personality causes, unchangeable factors, and external factors can influence on the onset of gaming disorder. Results: Prevention is the best solution for gaming disorder, and the role of parents is important. For gaming disorder, bupropion is used, cognitive-behavioral therapy and family-based therapy are also beneficial. Herbal medicine treatment such as Antler velvet and ginseng can be effective. Electroacupuncture and acupuncture using PC6, SP6, and LR3 has a correlation with relieving Internet craving. Ear-acupuncture was also effective in treating addiction. Conclusion: Psychologically, 'want' is an intense longing for reward and motivation, and is related to addiction. This 'want' may rather be related to avoidance, and game addiction in children and adolescents may be due to wanting to escape from academic stress or avoidance of comparison. Therefore, the importance of 'like', which gives pleasure in itself, increases. It can also be explained with Sasang Constitutional Medicine.
