Summary

This study tests two digital treatments for children aged 8-17 with chronic stomach pain caused by gut-brain interaction disorders. After a 4-week online education program, participants are randomly assigned to either internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) or gut-directed hypnotherapy via audio recordings. The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain and improves quality of life, and to make effective treatments more accessible.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 8-17 years * Basic somatic work-up completed (CRP/ESR, TGA, complete blood count, fecal calprotectin) * Confirmed DGBI diagnosis: IBS, functional abdominal pain, or functional dyspepsia (according to Rome IV criteria) * Any constipation must be treated according to current clinical guidelines, with stable laxative dosing for at least one month prior to referral * In cases of celiac disease, the participant must have followed a gluten-free diet for at least six months and TGA values must have normalized * For participants with a neuropsychiatric diagnosis treated with medication, at least two months must have passed since the last dose adjustment * At least one parent and the child/adolescent must be fluent in Swedish and willing to participate in both the educational program and treatment (regardless of randomization outcome), complete homework assignments, and respond to questionnaires Exclusion Criteria: * Other organic disease that better explains the gastrointestinal symptoms * At referral assessment, psychiatric symptoms or psychosocial problems - such as severe bullying, high school absenteeism, or difficult family circumstances - are judged to be more prominent than the gastrointestinal problems and require more extensive, multiprofessional care than what the study can offer * Participants who have already completed gut-directed hypnotherapy or CBT
