Exposure therapy for long-term physical symptoms
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a type of talk therapy called exposure therapy to help people who are bothered by physical symptoms that don't have a clear medical cause. The therapy is delivered over the internet, so you can do it from home.
