Filter by: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 uncontrolled feasibility pilot study explores the feasibility of a 10 week, 8-module, therapist-assisted, internet-delivered treatment program, "SpilleFri", for patients with Pathological Gambling. The study includes 25-30 participants aged 18-60 fulfilling diagnostic criteria for Pathological Gambling (ICD-10). The focus of the feasibility trial is evaluation of treatment response, treatment satisfaction, program utility, recruitment and retention rates, data completion rates, and time requirement. The primary feasibility criterion is 60 % of participants included in the study completing the treatment program.
Sport is a privileged area to promote socialization and health values, such as companionship; a healthy lifestyle; cooperation to achieve common goals, and justice, rejecting unjustified advantages in competition. The concept of fair play is on which the development of those values pivots. From a holistic perspective, it is possible to define fair play, not only as a way to participate but also as a way of projecting people in life with values, assuming a set of behaviors that enhance a healthy and respectful sporting experience with opponents, the companions, the spectators, the referees and all the agents that take part in the sport practice.
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of an online CBT-based intervention combined with an Ecological Momentary Intervention (EMI) and different complementary tools for the treatment of problem gambling and gambling disorder. The main hypothesis is that the Internet-based psychological intervention group will obtain better results than the waiting list control group.
An online single blinding, randomized, comparative therapeutic web-based, controlled trial. The main objective of the study is to assess the clinical efficacy of an online computerized cognitive training program targeted on cognitive control, namely on inhibition, measured with the PGSI-recent, a modified version of Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) with a 30 days recall period in patients with problem gambling, at 6 weeks, as compared to a control program with a similar setting.
Gambling disorder is associated to high impulsivity and excessive risk-taking behaviour. These behavioural characteristics related to addiction are linked to cognitive processes in specific brain areas located in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). With the aim of studying the role of PFC in gambling disorder, the investigators employ transcranial current direct stimulation (tDCS), a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that applies a very weak electrical current to the superficial areas of the brain. The clinical phase of the research consists on studying the effects of tDCS in combination with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in patients that attend the United Kingdom (UK) National Problem Gambling Clinic. The main objective of the project is to investigate whether the combination of tDCS and CBT can help to decrease impulsivity and risk-taking behaviour and therefore improve the treatment for gambling disorder.

This study deals with how people decide between rewards of different value. The investigators want to understand how the brain's dopamine system impacts this kind of decision making. The investigators will use a medication, tolcapone, which can temporarily affect the dopamine system.
The PERHAPS project aims to fill two gaps in the scientific literature: on the one hand, studying the clinical and cognitive particularities of poker-related problems, and on the other hand, studying poker skill as a combination of multiple cognitive and emotional abilities. The underlying clinical aim is to develop a cognitive remediation therapy program dedicated to pathological gamblers.
