Sumario:Context: Several studies have shown that emotional regulation (ER) is a transdiagnostic construct of emotional disorders.Therefore, if therapy improves ER, it would improve psychological distress.Objective: This review assesses and compares the changes in ER due to psychological treatment in different therapies.Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs published in the databases PubMed, PsycINFO and Web of Sciencewas performed. It was registered in PROSPERO under the number CRD42023387317. Two independent experts in the field re-viewed the articles.Results: A total of 18 articles met the criteria for inclusion in the review. Analysis of these studies suggests that in unified proto-col (UP), cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and mindfulness, there is evidence to support that amoderate effect occurs during treatment. Furthermore, in mindfulness and DBT, the effect was moderate in the follow-up period,while in UP, it was high.Limitations: Given the heterogeneity of the applied interventions and the methodological limitations found in the reviewedtrials, the results should be interpreted with caution.Conclusions: UP, cognitive behaviour therapy, DBT and mindfulness can improve ER after therapy, while UP, DBT and mind-fulness in the follow- up period. Other therapies, such as SKY or Flotation REST, require more research
