Mindfulness on Rumination in Patients with Depressive Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials examined the effect of mindfulness-based interventions on rumination in patients with depressive disorder. The analysis suggests that mindfulness interventions significantly reduce rumination compared to control conditions. The review included multiple trials and reported a moderate to large effect size. The findings indicate that mindfulness-based approaches may be an effective strategy for decreasing rumination, a core symptom of depression, though the authors note limitations such as variability in study designs and the need for further high-quality research.
