Education and duloxetine for multisystem functional somatic disorder
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a combination of patient education and the medication duloxetine can help people with a condition that causes multiple unexplained physical symptoms (functional somatic disorder). It aims to see if using both treatments together works better than either alone.
