Over the past few years, we have been conducting research studies at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Piscataway, New Jersey involving the treatment of medically inexplained physical symptoms including Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Fibromyalgia.
In our current study, we are studying the efficacy of cognitive behavioral treatment (CABT) which aims to reduce stress and improve the discomfort associated with physical symptoms. CABT is a treatment that teaches patients skills to cope with their physical discomfort. It is based on the idea that thoughts, emotions, and actions affect physical health.
STUDY REQUIREMENTS: Study participants must be adults (ages 18-65) suffering from multiple physical symptoms.
Patients will receive 14 FREE sessions of cognitive affective behavior therapy. In addition, they will receive a diagnostic evaluation 5 times over the course of 18 months. They will be paid $20 for each evaluation.
