Digital Mindfulness-Based Therapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (dMBT-OCD)
Effects and Neurophysiological Mechanisms of Digital Mindfulness-Based Therapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of digital mindfulness-based therapy in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder and to explore its possible psychological and neurophysiological mechanisms.
A total of 150 participants with a primary diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of three groups: digital mindfulness-based therapy, routine pharmacological treatment, or digital mindfulness-based therapy combined with routine pharmacological treatment.
The digital mindfulness-based therapy program will last for 6 weeks and will be delivered through a mobile mini-program using structured video and audio lessons, guided mindfulness practices, supervised weekly learning, and home practice. Participants in the pharmacological treatment group will receive routine pharmacological treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and participants in the combined group will receive both interventions.
Changes in obsessive-compulsive symptoms, mindfulness, emotional symptoms, and other psychological outcomes will be assessed during treatment and follow-up. Heart rate variability will be assessed at baseline and weekly during the 6-week intervention. Electroencephalography will be assessed at baseline, at the end of the 6-week intervention, and at the 3-month and 6-month follow-up assessments to explore neurophysiological changes associated with treatment.

Descrição detalhada
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a disabling psychiatric condition characterized by persistent obsessions, compulsions, or both. Although pharmacological treatment and cognitive behavioral interventions are effective for many patients, some individuals continue to experience residual symptoms, poor treatment adherence, limited access to psychotherapy, or difficulty tolerating intensive symptom-focused interventions.
Digital mindfulness-based therapy may provide a more accessible and standardized psychological intervention. The intervention used in this study is a 6-week structured program delivered through a mobile mini-program. It includes psychoeducation, guided video and audio lessons, mindfulness meditation practices, supervised weekly learning, and home practice. The course covers mindful breathing, body scan, mindful movement, awareness of thoughts and emotions, acceptance-based practices, and compassion-related exercises.
Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to digital mindfulness-based therapy, routine pharmacological treatment, or digital mindfulness-based therapy combined with routine pharmacological treatment. Clinical and psychological assessments will be conducted at baseline, weekly during the 6-week intervention, and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the intervention.
The primary clinical outcome will be the change in obsessive-compulsive symptom severity measured using the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale from baseline to the end of the 6-week intervention. Repeated assessments during treatment and follow-up will be used to examine symptom trajectories and the maintenance of treatment effects. Secondary psychological outcomes will include changes in mindfulness, thought-action fusion, self-compassion, depression, anxiety, and other related psychological characteristics.
Heart rate variability will be assessed at baseline and weekly during the 6-week intervention using time-domain, frequency-domain, and nonlinear measures to examine changes in autonomic nervous system regulation. Electroencephalography will be collected at baseline, at the end of the 6-week intervention, and at the 3-month and 6-month follow-up assessments. Electroencephalographic measures will include the mean amplitude and latency of the N200 and P300 event-related potential components. These measures will be used to explore psychological and neurophysiological mechanisms associated with improvement in obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

|
The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale is a 10-item clinician-administered measure of obsessive-compulsive symptom severity.
Each item is scored from 0 to 4, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 40.
Higher total scores indicate more severe obsessive-compulsive symptoms and therefore represent a worse outcome.
Changes from baseline will be assessed weekly during the 6-week intervention and at follow-up assessments to evaluate symptom trajectories and the maintenance of treatment effects.

|
The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire is a 39-item self-report measure assessing five dimensions of mindfulness: observing, describing, acting with awareness, nonjudging of inner experience, and nonreactivity to inner experience.
Each item is scored from 1 to 5. The total score ranges from 39 to 195, with higher total scores indicating higher levels of mindfulness and therefore representing a better outcome.
Subscale scores range from 8 to 40 for observing, describing, acting with awareness, and nonjudging of inner experience, and from 7 to 35 for nonreactivity to inner experience.
Changes from baseline will be assessed during treatment and follow-up.

The State Mindfulness Scale is a 21-item self-report measure assessing mindful awareness of bodily sensations and mental events during a recent period.
Each item is scored from 1 to 5, resulting in a total score ranging from 21 to 105.
Higher total scores indicate higher levels of state mindfulness and therefore represent a better outcome.
Changes from baseline will be assessed during treatment and follow-up.
