This NIH-funded study (K23 AT009458) investigates the neural mechanisms of response to the Aim to Decrease Pain and Anxiety Treatment (ADAPT), a tailored cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) Dr. Cunningham developed (F32 HD078049) to manage pain and anxiety in youth with functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPD). Dr. Cunningham is working in partnership with researchers at MSU, and with colleagues in pain psychology, gastroenterology, and radiology at Spectrum Health and Helen Devos Children’s Hospital to conduct this research.
