Summary
This study tests a new therapy that combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with biofeedback to help people with somatic symptom disorder—a condition where physical distress has no clear medical cause. Sixty adults will receive eight sessions over three months or be placed on a waiting list. The goal is to see if the therapy reduces physical symptoms and health anxiety.
What this could mean

Active substance
cognitive-behavioral therapy and biofeedback therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, non-drug treatment option to reduce physical discomfort and worry about health for people with somatic symptom disorder.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy requires multiple sessions and may not work for all patients.
