Key Points

To review the current scientific understanding of the cognitive and pathophysiological processes underpinning internet addiction and assess the evidence for clinical treatments.
Evaluated existing literature on the cognitive and biological drivers of uncontrolled internet use.
Appraised the methodological quality and validity of intervention studies investigating therapies for internet addiction.
Pathophysiological and cognitive mechanisms governing the inability to suppress excessive online behavior remain largely uncharacterized.
Current clinical literature lacks sufficient methodological adequacy to support or recommend any evidence-based treatment.
