Effect of internet-delivered exposure therapy versus healthy lifestyle promotion for patients with persistent physical symptoms (SOMEX1): a randomized controlled trial with planned moderator analysis
Overview
This randomized controlled trial compares internet-delivered exposure therapy against healthy lifestyle promotion for primary care patients with persistent physical symptoms. The study reports that while exposure therapy did not significantly reduce overall somatic symptom burden compared to the control, it was superior in reducing symptom preoccupation. Results suggest that patients with higher baseline symptom burden or preoccupation may derive greater benefit from the intervention.
