Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS can reduce addictive gaming behavior in people who have lost control over their internet gaming. Fifty participants aged 12 and older will receive five sessions of tDCS or a fake treatment, and researchers will measure changes in gaming addiction scores one month later. The goal is to see if this safe, painless technique can help people regain control and reduce the time spent gaming.
