Children often present to primary care with functional abdominal pain (FAP) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and around half still have abdominal complaints 1 year later.

Hypnotherapy is an evidence-based treatment that is used in specialist care, but it lacks evidence in primary care. In this setting, children consult a clinician for the first time with their symptoms and early implementation of hypnotherapy could reduce costs and referrals to specialist care. Therefore, this project will investigate the (cost) effectiveness of home-based guided hypnotherapy for children with FAP or IBS in primary care.

ZelfHy is part of research group Children and adolescents in primary care.
