Description
Mohsin Butt and co-authors trial a prescription phone app in 2026 for adults with irritable bowel syndrome. Behavioral therapy helps this gut condition, and the app delivers ten sessions of gut-directed talk therapy over about twelve weeks. Their uncontrolled trial in a British clinic asks whether patients stick with it and whether symptoms ease.
Thirty patients started, and twenty gave follow-up data. Gut symptom scores fell significantly, as did anxiety and depression scores. Seventy percent of those with follow-up improved by a clinically important margin. Diarrhea-type patients improved most, and responders tended to be older and male. Without a control group, the authors treat the results as early signals.
