NCT ID NCT07526727
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a short program called ADAPT that teaches children ages 9-14 with ongoing stomach pain (without a clear medical cause) coping skills like relaxation and problem-solving. The program has worked well in specialty clinics, and now researchers want to see if it can be used in primary care settings. About 15 children will take part to see if the program is practical and helpful.
