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.
