RECRUITING

Do Biomarkers Predict Response to a Pediatric Chronic Pain Symptom Management Program?

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is find out if we can use simple tests (biomarkers) to tell us if a specific child would benefit most from CBT or from the low FODMAPs diet.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:7 Years to 12 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:CHILD
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * A child 7-12 years of age with a FGID will be recruited if the medical evaluation reveals no organic reason for the abdominal pain and the child has abdominal pain that meets the definition of a FGID (i.e., IBS, functional abdominal pain) according to the pediatric Rome III criteria (Rome IV will be substituted when validated). Parents and children must speak and understand English because of the psychological assessment and CBT requirements.
  1. * Children who have: had past bowel surgery; documented GI disorders (e.g., Crohn's disease); a serious chronic medical condition (e.g., diabetes); weight and/or height \< 2 SD for age; chronic conditions with GI symptoms (e.g., cystic fibrosis); autism spectrum disorder, significant developmental delay, psychosis, or a history of bipolar disorder; been treated with antibiotics/probiotics within 2 mo. (because of effects on gut microbiome analysis), and children who for some reason could not be randomized to the low FODMAP diet.Vegetarian; children who are currently on the FODMAP Diet or receiving CBT Children who speak only Spanish are not eligible because the Rome questionnaire and psychological testing are not available in Spanish. Despite this, a large proportion of the children enrolled will be Hispanic.
