Abstract
A behavioral treatment program, largely based on applied relaxation was tested in a group of patients (n=32) suffering from non-ulcer dyspepsia. They were compared to a randomized Control group (n=33) and a non-randomized Extra control group (n=29), consisting of patients who had declined the offer of behavioral treatment. Self-recorded pain intensity had decreased significantly more in the Treatment group than in the Control group at post-treatment. Also, the Treatment group experienced fewer pain occasions than the Extra controls at post-treatment. There were no differences between groups at the one-year follow-up.Keywords
