Abstract

With growing evidence to support their efficacy, brain-gut behavior therapies are increasingly viewed as a key component to integrated care management of disorders of gut-brain interaction. However, the types of brain-gut behavior therapies differ in how and for whom they purportedly work. We provide a conceptual review of these brain-gut behavior therapies, with an emphasis on describing how (ie, mechanisms) and for whom (ie, moderators) they work as hypothesized and/or supported by evidence. Based on evidence to date, we recommend that brain-gut behavior therapies prioritize gastrointestinal-specific targets, such as gastrointestinal-specific anxiety.
