Teens' medical maze: study maps long road to diagnosis for unexplained symptoms

NCT ID NCT06582173

Summary

This study aims to understand the healthcare journey of young people (ages 12-25) with somatic symptom disorder—a condition where they experience distressing physical symptoms that doctors can't fully explain by another medical condition. Researchers will interview 36 patients and their parents to map all the medical visits, tests, and referrals that happen from their first symptoms until they receive a specialized team assessment. The goal is to identify patterns and challenges in the healthcare system to help future patients get appropriate care more efficiently.
