2006, Journal of General Internal Medicine

AI-generated Abstract

Patients with medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) frequently visit primary care, posing challenges for clinicians. A randomized controlled trial involving 206 high-utilizing MUS patients evaluated an intervention combining cognitive-behavioral and pharmacological approaches, administered by nurse practitioners. The study aimed to improve mental health outcomes, assessing impacts at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months, with results indicating significant improvement in mental health for those receiving the intervention compared to standard care.
