(Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 24(7), 735741,2024). Drawing on a meta-analysis by Chien et al. (Journal of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders, 32, 100712,2022) and 10 randomized controlled trials, this review highlighted substantial heterogeneity across intervention types, delivery formats, and outcome measures. Key distinctions were identified among mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based exposure and response prevention (MB-ERP). Notable discrepancies between self-reported and clinician-rated outcomes, divergent theoretical frameworks, and the need for greater mechanistic precision were underscored. Integration of mindfulness within ERP emerges as a theoretically promising but still preliminary strategy to enhance inhibitory learning, reduce covert compulsions, and strengthen distress tolerance and treatment engagement. A forward-looking research agenda was proposed, emphasizing mechanism-matched trials, optimization of intervention sequencing, culturally adapted protocols, and scalable digital MB-ERP platforms with fidelity monitoring. This approach aimed to support the development of individualized, effective, and durable mindfulness-based treatments for OCD.
