Summary
This trial is testing whether biomarkers can predict which children with IBS will respond better to CBT or the low FODMAP diet.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 7-12 with functional gastrointestinal disorders like IBS, who experience abdominal pain without an organic cause. They must understand English due to the nature of assessments and treatments involved. Kids with past bowel surgery, chronic diseases like Crohn's or diabetes, developmental disorders, or those already on FODMAP diets or CBT are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study aims to determine if certain biomarkers can predict whether a child would benefit more from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or a Low FODMAP Diet for managing symptoms of pediatric chronic pain associated with gastrointestinal issues.
What are the potential side effects?
While not medication-based interventions, side effects may include discomfort from dietary changes in the low FODMAP diet group and emotional distress during cognitive behavioral therapy sessions as children learn to manage their pain.
