Summary

Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) are common among children and adolescents. They affect quality of life, cause functional disability, school absence and high health care use. Despite this there is a lack in treatment options.

The aim of the current study, embedded in The Danish FGID Treatment Study, is to investigate the detailed course of efficacy of Danish versions of Swedish Internet based cognitive behavioural therapy (i-CBT) programs for children and adolescents with FGID in a Danish clinical context. This will be done using a single case design study. Along with this, the impact of parental illness worries will be investigated.

Interventions

OTHER

Internet delivered cognitive behavioural therapy for functional gastrointestinal disorders

The offered treatment will be the Danish versions of the Swedish i-CBT programs for children. The child i-CBT program consists of 10 modules for the child and 10 for parents. The adolescent i-CBT program consists of 10 modules for the adolescent and 5 modules for the parents. Child and adolescents modules compose of exposure exercises for symptoms, behavioural analyses and affect labelling and are adjusted for the specific age group. Parent modules aim at supporting parents in helping their child to engage in the challenging exposure exercises. The family needs to select one parent to participate in the parent program. The participants will be expected to use approximately 4 hours per week. The programs will be delivered over ten weeks, and therapist support will be provided on a weekly basis.
