A Practice Change for Patients With Severe Chronic, Clinically Unexplained Gastrointestinal Symptoms
Sponsor: The University of Queensland
Summary
This research project aims to test whether early interventions delivered remotely and prior to integrated care clinic appointments are effective. Patients with chronic unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms will initially undergo structured assessment of symptoms and wheat intolerance delivered remotely. Patients who continue to experience symptoms will then be randomised to a pre-consultation intervention ((a) standardised dietician supervised intervention, b) exercise intervention, c) internet delivered cognitive behavior therapy or d) nothing) followed by randomisation to the consultation intervention ((a) consultant-led outpatient clinic or b) a integrated care clinic depending on their response to the initial intervention.
