Mobile app therapy for stubborn stomach upset
Part of Digestive system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a mobile app teaching cognitive behavioral therapy (a way to change thinking patterns) can help people with stubborn stomach pain or discomfort. It might benefit those whose symptoms haven't improved with usual medicines.

This trial tests an “exposure-based” type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people with functional dyspepsia (stomach discomfort after eating) who avoid or restrict food. The goal is to reduce food fear and improve eating and weight, after other medical causes have been ruled out.
This study tests an internet-based program to help children and teens with certain long-term stomach conditions, like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or ongoing stomach pain. It aims to see if online tools can reduce symptoms and improve daily life.
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications, amitriptyline and trifluoperazine, can help patients with ongoing discomfort in the upper stomach (functional dyspepsia). It may be an option if other treatments haven't worked.
This trial tests a personalized low-FODMAP diet plan, a diet that avoids certain carbohydrates that can trigger gut symptoms, using a mobile app to help manage IBS. It aims to see if this approach improves symptoms and how it affects the connection between your gut and your brain.
This study tests how certain medications that affect communication between the brain and the gut might help relieve symptoms of functional dyspepsia. If you have this condition, the trial may help improve your stomach comfort.
