First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looks at how children's ability to understand emotions, their attachment style, and thinking skills relate to physical symptoms like stomach pain or headaches with no clear medical cause. Researchers will assess 300 children to see if lower emotional awareness and insecure attachment are linked to more somatic symptoms. The goal is to better understand these connections, not to test a treatment.
