Web-based Management of Pediatric Functional Abdominal Pain

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Gastrointestinal Disorders, Functional

In brief

Functional abdominal pain (FAP), a pediatric pain condition without significant organic pathology, is a precursor to chronic pain and high healthcare utilization in young adulthood. This project aims to identify child and family characteristics that predict differential responses to a Cognitive Behavior Therapy intervention administered online to patients with FAP and their parents. The goal is to acquire scientific knowledge to guide individualized treatment of patients with FAP.
