Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the trial is to develop a treatment protocol to be used in trials studying internet-delivered CBT for children with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID). The study size is not based on power calculations but the estimated sample necessary to develop a treatment protocol. This study will include 20-30 children with FGID and their parents who will be treated individually (face-to-face). The treatment consists of 10 weekly sessions of exposure-based CBT. The study uses a pre- post-design with no control group.
