Efficacy of blended digital and face-to-face psychotherapy compared to enhanced psychotherapy for patients with Somatic Symptom Disorder (iSOMA+): study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled pragmatic trial : study protocol
Persistent somatic symptoms (PSS) that occur in various somatic, functional, or mental health conditions can lead to considerable psychological distress and functional impairment. As such, they are a key characteristic of the Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD) in DSM-5. While psychological treatments su...

| Riassunto: | Persistent somatic symptoms (PSS) that occur in various somatic, functional, or mental health conditions can lead to considerable psychological distress and functional impairment. As such, they are a key characteristic of the Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD) in DSM-5. While psychological treatments such as cognitive behavioral approaches can address these symptoms, their clinical efficacy in reducing symptom burden in previous trials remains limited. Blended psychotherapy, i.e., combining face-to-face psychotherapy with digital elements, is a promising new approach to efficiently enhance psychotherapeutic effects. This study therefore aims to evaluate the efficacy, mechanisms, and safety of blended psychotherapy compared to enhanced standard psychotherapy for individuals with SSD in outpatient psychotherapy. |
