In Reply We agree with Dr Asadi-Pooya’s point that the currently published evidence base for the psychotherapeutic treatment of PNEA remains limited, consisting primarily of observational studies and 2 small randomized clinical trials. However, as briefly mentioned in our Viewpoint,1 a large, adequately powered multisite randomized trial (the CODES trial; ), comparing cognitive behavioral therapy plus standard medical care with standard medical care alone, has recently completed enrollment and data collection, with results forthcoming.2 This study includes assessments of monthly PNEA frequency as the primary outcome, with numerous secondary outcomes, including quality of life, psychological distress, psychosocial functioning, and health service use. Follow-up was conducted at intervals of 6 and 12 months.
