No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a parent-only, group-based intervention intended to treat youth with chronic, unexplained medical symptoms such as (but not limited to) chronic fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, headache, and abdominal pain. Prior to and following the intervention, the child and parent(s) will be asked to complete several questionnaires about their well-being and functioning. The investigators predict that participation in this intervention will lead to change in relevant outcomes, including youth symptoms and functional impairment, and parenting stress and accommodation of symptoms. The investigators also predict that this group will be acceptable and feasible for parents.
