NCT05128019 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 459

Last updated 2023-05-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Many patients in general practice present symptoms that do not refer to specific pathology. We refer to these patients at Medical Unexplained Physical Symptoms (MUPS). Practice and research have well documented that these patients frustrate most General Practitioners (GPs). They also produce a lot of unnecessary investigations and are overrepresented on sick-listing. The conversational tool Individual Challenge Inventory Tool (ICIT) offers an aid for the GPS to the consultation and aims to increase the patients' coping abilities with their health challenges. The aim of the study is to investigate whether patients experience such increased coping following a session of consultations with their GP based on ICIT.
