Short answer is mostly no. Long answer is nuanced, and depends on whether you are asking about the score or intelligence

Changing the “IQ score” (I am assuming a genuine test like WAIS-V, or at least something highly g-loaded like the old SAT):

Changing “intelligence” itself. This mostly never changes. However, if you have external factors that clog your mental, removing them do indeed improve intelligence:

IQ has some white supremacist roots, so discussing about it is usually frowned upon… and even when used correctly, it is honestly much better used as a diagnostic tool. For example ADHD can get flagged on IQ tests very easily.

Personally I think instead of trying to improve per-se, it is much better used as a tool for self-discovery especially if you have any weird neurological conditions. If you’re worried about accuracy, there are old-SAT, CORE, CAIT, AGCT (the one US Army used to use)… which are all essentially IQ tests.
