Research has shown that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for gambling disorder. Several studies had also been done to evaluate the effectiveness of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in addiction management, particularly in alleviating craving. A randomised controlled trial (RCT) of 30 subjects would be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of transmodalistic therapy with a combination of rTMS and CBT for online gambling disorder.
