Abstract

The article focuses on a systematic review evaluating the efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for gambling disorder (GD), highlighting their potential as complementary treatments. Conducted by researchers from ELTE Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest, Hungary, the review analyzed 12 studies published between 2012 and April 2025, revealing that MBIs consistently reduced gambling frequency and cravings while improving psychological outcomes. However, the review noted methodological limitations and small sample sizes, indicating a need for more robust research to better understand the specific effects of mindfulness. The research was financially supported by the Hungarian National Research, Development, and Innovation Office. [Extracted from the article]
