Re-analyzing data from a randomized trial of an 8-week technology-supported mindfulness (TSM) treatment for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), reductions in rumination and worry were greater in the TSM group than in a waitlist control. Statistical models showed that decreased worry predicted later OCD symptom improvement, while rumination did not show this predictive relationship. The findings suggest that worry reduction may be a mechanism through which mindfulness-based treatment alleviates OCD symptoms.
