The studies were categorized by behavioral addiction type.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>For compulsive sexual behavior and problematic pornography use, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has shown significant improvements in compulsivity. In gambling disorder, interventions like cognitive bias modification and motivational interviewing combined with CBT have been effective in reducing impulsivity. Cognitive-behavioral therapy was advocated for compulsive shopping, although results varied. For problematic internet use, dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy have been effective in addressing impulsivity. Despite literature supporting CBT for most behavioral addictions, the review noted that some articles indicate that dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy were also effective for problematic internet use, suggesting different underlying mechanisms for this type of addiction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>It also highlighted limitations, including the small number of studies and the lack of standardized assessment measures. Further research is needed to understand underlying mechanisms and develop tailored treatments for impulsivity and compulsivity in non-substance addictions. These findings offer new directions for research and intervention guidelines in behavioral addictions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2024.1430409","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,26]],"date-time":"2024-09-26T07:09:03Z","timestamp":1727334543000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["A systematic review of treatment for impulsivity and compulsivity"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Beatriz","family":"Aguilar-Yamuza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yolanda","family":"Trenados","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Herruzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9","family":"Pino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Herruzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"14","DOI":"10.1007\/s11065-019-09402-x","article-title":"A systematic meta-review of impulsivity and compulsivity in addictive behaviors","volume":"29","author":"Lee","year":"2019","journal-title":"Neuropsychol Rev"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neubiorev.2019.12.025","article-title":"Learning to lose control: A process-based account of behavioral addiction","volume":"108","author":"Perales","year":"2020","journal-title":"Neurosci Biobehav Rev"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"23","DOI":"10.1037\/10500-002","article-title":"A neurodevelopmental view of impulsivity","volume-title":"The impulsive client: Theory, research, and treatment","author":"Daruna","year":"1993"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/rev0000263","article-title":"Rejecting impulsivity as a psychological construct: A theoretical, empirical, and sociocultural argument","volume":"128","author":"Strickland","year":"2021","journal-title":"Psychol Rev"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4","DOI":"10.1007\/s11065-019-09404-9","article-title":"Defining compulsive behavior","volume":"29","author":"Luigjes","year":"2019","journal-title":"Neuropsychol Rev"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/02698811000142S106","article-title":"Impulsivity","volume":"14","author":"Hollander","year":"2000","journal-title":"J Psychopharmacol (Oxf)"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1360-0443.2011.03546.x","article-title":"Compulsive features in behavioural addictions: the case of pathological gambling","volume":"107","author":"el-Guebaly","year":"2012","journal-title":"ADDICTION"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2215-0366(16)00104-8","article-title":"Neurobiology of addiction: a neurocircuitry analysis","volume":"3","author":"Koob","year":"2016","journal-title":"Lancet Psychiatry"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuron.2011.01.020","article-title":"Impulsivity, compulsivity, and top-down cognitive control","volume":"69","author":"Dalley","year":"2011","journal-title":"Neuron"},{"key":"B10","first-page":"3","article-title":"Obsessive compulsive spectrum disorder","volume":"56","author":"Hollander","year":"1995","journal-title":"J Clin Psychiatry"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.2006.163.7.1282","article-title":"Motor inhibition and cognitive flexibility in obsessive-compulsive disorder and trichotillomania","volume":"163","author":"Chamberlain","year":"2006","journal-title":"Am J Psychiatry"},{"key":"B12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1186\/1747-5341-6-3","article-title":"Obsessionality & compulsivity: a phenomenology of obsessive-compulsive disorder","volume":"6","author":"Denys","year":"2011","journal-title":"Philos Ethics Humanit Med"},{"key":"B13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.1017\/S1092852913000801","article-title":"New developments in human neurocognition: clinical, genetic, and brain imaging correlates of impulsivity and compulsivity","volume":"19","author":"Fineberg","year":"2014","journal-title":"CNS Spectr"},{"key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1360-0443.2004.00808.x","article-title":"Addiction, a condition of compulsive behaviour?
