It is challenging to engage repeat users of unscheduled healthcare with severe health anxiety in psychological help and high service costs are incurred. We investigated whether clinical economic outcomes were improved by offering remote cognitive behaviour therapy (RCBT) using videoconferencing or telephone compared treatment as usual (TAU). A single-blind, parallel group, multicentre randomised controlled trial was undertaken primary general hospital care. Participants aged ≥18 years ≥2...

Abstract Background Major depression is the second leading cause of years lost to disability worldwide and a contributor suicide. However, first-line antidepressants are only fully effective for 33%, 40% those offered psychological treatment attend two sessions or more.
