VICO-trial: Video Consultations in the Follow-up of Children With Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders
Sponsor: Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA)
Summary
The goal of this non-inferiority randomized controlled multi-center trial is to investigate the use of video consultations in the follow-up care of children aged 4 - 18 years old with functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs). Video consultations will be compared to face-to-face consultations. Clinical outcomes and patients' and parents' healthcare experience will be compared between both groups. Primary outcome is adequate relief after 12 weeks: the hypothesis is that video consultations are not inferior to face-to-face consultations regarding clinical outcomes and that adequate relief will be the same for both groups. Participants and/or parents will be asked to complete a diary for 1 week and a questionnaire after every consultation: at baseline, after 6 weeks and after 12 weeks.
