Scientists hunt for clues to match kids with best stomach pain therapy

NCT ID NCT03823742

Summary

This study aimed to find out if simple body measurements could predict which of two common treatments would work better for children with chronic stomach pain. Researchers tested 163 children aged 7-12 to see if their heart rate, gut bacteria, or other body signals could show whether they'd respond better to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or a special low-FODMAP diet. The goal was to help doctors choose the right treatment faster, reducing trial and error for kids and families.
