Testing new guidelines for sudden severe stomach pain in Zambia
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether new medical guidelines help doctors better diagnose and treat sudden severe stomach pain in primary care clinics in Zambia. Researchers will compare how well the new guidelines work by looking at patient outcomes at two different health centers.
