How can one know that he has been cured of persistent intrusive doubt, especially if this doubt has continued for months?

The criterion for being overwhelmed by doubt is for the doubt to occur every day, even if only once, regardless of whether its nature is consistent or varies. If it occurs one day and disappears the next, it is not considered overwhelming doubt. The ruling in such a case is that it must be cast aside, ignored, and disregarded.
