Effects of neuromodulation on cognitive performance in individuals exhibiting addictive behaviors: A systematic review

Substance use and addictive disorders (SUAD) are characterized by the continued use of a substance, or repeated engagement in addictive behavior, despite known negative consequences (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Substance use disorders reportedly affect around 0.6% of the global adult population (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2017), and the use of psychoactive substances (including alcohol and tobacco) accounted for 12.4% of all deaths globally in 2000 (World Health Organization, 2002).
