Online treatment for kids with stomach pain
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
