Drawing parallels with the concept of interruption, we hypothesize that negative emotions triggered during gaming interruptions would drive individuals' craving for the game and compelling them to continue playing, reinforcing the IGD cycle. In this study, 42 male 'League of Legends' players, aged 19 to 29, experienced controlled interruptions every 3 min during gaming and non-gaming control tasks. Our findings demonstrate that interruptions during gaming elicited significantly higher levels of anger and anxiety compared to the control tasks. Further, we found a positive correlation between the severity of IGD symptoms and the intensity of anger and anxiety induced by gaming interruptions. Additionally, our analysis suggests that craving partially mediates the relationship between anger arousal during gaming interruptions and IGD severity.

Certain diets, such as gluten-free diets, are perceived as particularly beneficial by patients, although there is no evidence to support this. Studies that have investigated this topic have focused little on possible expectation effects that could be involved in symptom development or pain increase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;In a 2×2 study design with repeated measurements to test treatment effects, we investigated 26 patients with fibromyalgia (FMS). Additional chronic pain conditions were included and analyzed exploratively. However, the main analysis focused on fibromyalgia patients. Participants underwent an oral food challenge (OFC) with double-blinded gluten or alleged gluten (sham gluten). All of them received an OLP with different instructions to treat negative effects of the porridge. Treatment expectations were modulated by either neutral or positive instructions regarding the OLPs. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: (1) gluten and neutral instructions; (2) gluten and positive instructions; (3) sham gluten and neutral instructions; and (4) sham gluten and positive instructions. Expectations before (T0) and after the instructions (T0.1) as well as pain and indigestion before (T0) and after the OFC (T1 30min, T2 30-180min, T3 240min) were assessed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;In FMS patients, a significant interaction with instructions were observed (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.048). Positive instructions led to a decrease in pain (T0-T2) while neutral instructions led to an increase in pain. However, &lt;i&gt;post-hoc&lt;/i&gt; comparisons did not reveal significant group differences. No interaction was found with gluten (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.65). Positive instructions increased positive treatment expectations but missed significance marginally (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.06), while negative expectations decreased for all participants regardless of instructions (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.001). A strong correlation was found between expected and actual pain relief (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.001).

While gluten itself showed no significant impact on pain or indigestion, positive instructions significantly enhanced perceived pain relief.
