Summary

Functional somatic disorders cause persistent physical symptoms that doctors cannot explain by other diseases. The DISTRESS trial evaluates a new clinic where internal medicine doctors, trained to recognize these disorders, examine patients and provide guidance to their general practitioners. The trial compares this approach with usual care to see if it leads to faster diagnosis and lower healthcare costs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A new diagnostic clinic where internal medicine doctors evaluate patients for functional somatic disorders
What this could lead to
If the clinic works, it could give people with functional somatic disorders a faster diagnosis and reduce the need for repeated specialist visits.
What could go wrong
The trial measures costs and healthcare use, not whether patients feel better. A faster diagnosis may not lead to better outcomes, and the clinic's approach may not work in other settings.
