Abstract
Rumination disorder (RD) is characterized by the persistent, recurrent, and effortless regurgitation of swallowed food back into the mouth. it is associated with various illnesses. RD is frequently misdiagnosed or ignored; this causes patients to have persistent discomfort and spend extended periods without therapy. Numerous attempts have been made to create and enhance psychotherapy interventions to lessen the symptoms of rumination, but the answer is still unknown. Thus, this scoping review was conducted to assess the efficacy of psychotherapy treatments in reducing symptoms of rumination disorder. A total of 27 studies that met the eligibility criteria found that psychotherapy treatments were effective in reducing rumination symptoms. CBT was the most commonly used type of therapy, followed by COMET, MBCT, ACT, rTMS, TDCS, and DBT. Psychotherapy is a contemporary therapeutic approach that has been recognized as an effective way to provide long-term positive results for people with RD.
