Guided Imagery App for Kids with Stomach Pain
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a mobile app that uses guided imagery (a relaxation technique using your imagination) to help children ages 7–12 with stomach pain disorders. The goal is to see if the app is easy to use and helpful for managing pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether video consultations (video calls) are a good option for follow-up appointments in children with functional abdominal pain disorders. It aims to make check-ups easier for families.
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 study tests simple, non-drug methods—like virtual reality and guided imagery (imagining a calm scene)—to help reduce children's pain and fear during medical procedures. It's for children aged 8 to 14 who understand Turkish and have not recently taken pain medication.
This study tests whether a mixture of two friendly bacteria (probiotics) can improve belly pain and other IBS symptoms in children. If your child qualifies, they may receive the probiotic mixture or a placebo for a period of time.
This trial studies whether virtual reality can help people with functional dyspepsia, a type of stomach discomfort that isn’t caused by a specific disease. You may be a good candidate if tests have ruled out other stomach problems like ulcers or an active H. pylori infection.
