This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a structured talk therapy approach called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help adults who struggle with both functional dyspepsia — ongoing stomach discomfort that happens after eating — and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, a condition where people eat only a very limited range of foods. Half of the participants will receive eight weekly therapy sessions delivered online, while the other half will continue with whatever treatment they're currently receiving.
Many people with stomach discomfort end up eating less and less food to avoid triggering symptoms, which can lead to serious health problems. Right now, there isn't a clear evidence-based treatment approach specifically designed to help people break this cycle, so researchers want to test whether this therapy can help.

If you are randomly selected for the therapy group, you will attend eight one-hour sessions with a therapist delivered via secure video call over eight weeks. If you are in the comparison group, you will continue with whatever treatment you're already receiving and provide information about those treatments. Either way, you'll complete some questionnaires and assessments during the study to help researchers understand how you're doing.
