Summary

Complex functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPD) with co-occurring anxiety are highly prevalent in children, can be very disabling, and are not responsive to currently available treatments. This research aims to better understand the neural mechanisms involved in a promising nonpharmacological treatment for FAPD to ultimately guide the development of more targeted treatment approaches for afflicted youth.

ADAPT

Aim to Decrease Anxiety and Pain Treatment is a remotely delivered tailored treatment integrating mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy. It consists of 6 sessions and blends pain and anxiety coping strategies. The first 2 sessions will be interactive with a trained psychological provider and the following 4 sessions will be web-based.
