Correlation between precontemplation and alpha activity in gambling disorder
Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment Jun 26, 2019
Lee J, et al. - Researchers assessed the features of resting-state electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings in patients with gambling disorder [a psychiatric condition with persistent and recurrent maladaptive gambling] and examined the connection between the EEG features of the patients and the stages of change in a transtheoretical model. They evaluated and gathered EEG recordings from 63 males who visited a gambling disorder clinic in Seoul, Korea. According to findings, EEG parameters, especially alpha activity, could inform us about the subtypes or stages of change in gambling disorder. In a relaxed, alert individual, alpha power, which is one of the QEEG parameters, is the predominant EEG rhythm; thus, alpha power is an index of relaxation. The authors expect the alpha activity level to be used as an extra parameter to assist clinicians in evaluating and treating patients with gambling disorder.
