Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Eligible participants are 12–25-year-olds diagnosed with somatic symptom disorder by a specialized multidisciplinary team and their parents.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients not seeking multidisciplinary evaluation or outside the 12–25 age range may not see direct benefits.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This descriptive study retrospectively collects interview data from patients aged 12 to 25 with somatic symptom disorder and their parents to trace the sequence of care events leading to a specialized multidisciplinary evaluation. A biographical grid guides the recall of symptoms, life events, and healthcare encounters, with a qualitative analysis to describe the subjective experience of the healthcare pathway. The aim is to illuminate patterns in healthcare utilization and trajectories that precede multidisciplinary assessment. Data are gathered through face-to-face interviews and analyzed to understand how prior care relates to long-term management opportunities. The sponsor is a major Parisian hospital group, with French clinical teams overseeing data collection at the Maison des Adolescents and Cochin Hospital.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Understanding care pathways could help streamline referrals and reduce delays in access to specialized assessment and management.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work has shown value in mapping patient pathways, but this exact approach in SSD pathways is relatively novel and exploratory.
