Overview

Randomized controlled fMRI study shows progressive aerobic training improves neural synchrony and reduces IGD symptoms.

Key Points

  • Progressive aerobic exercise reduced IGD symptoms and cravings, altering neural synchrony in key brain areas.
  • Participants in the progressive aerobic training group exhibited significant improvements in IAT and DSM-5 scores.
  • fMRI scans indicated changes in functional connectivity of addiction-related regions, notably the caudate and prefrontal cortex.
  • Findings suggest that caudate-related markers could be targeted in future interventions for IGD.
