Hypnotherapy for Upper Gut Symptoms
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether hypnotherapy sessions, delivered through a smartphone app, can help relieve upper digestive symptoms like nausea, bloating, and indigestion. It's for people whose symptoms are not caused by a known disease and who have already had normal stomach-emptying tests.
