Dear Authors,
I hope this email finds you well.
I am writing to you today to provide some feedback on your manuscript, titled “Comparing
the Effectiveness of Transdiagnostic Treatment with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
on Emotional Disorders, Rumination, and Life Satisfaction in Patients with Irritable Bowel
Syndrome: A randomized clinical trial”. I have reviewed the manuscript carefully and am
impressed with the quality of your work. I believe that the manuscript has the potential to make
a significant contribution to the field, but I have a few points that need to be clarified:
• You need to include the designs of ACT sessions and their content as you did with the UP
group in a table.
• You need to re-write the results section to highlight the potential of UP alone, ACT alone, and
both in comparison to each other. This will make the article more informative.
• You mentioned online and physical sessions, could you elaborate more about this process?
How this was arranged to avoid bias?
• In the abstract section, elaborate more about the UP group to enhance the visibility of the article.
I understand that you may not agree with all my suggestions, and that is perfectly fine. However, I
encourage you to consider them carefully and to make any changes that you believe will improve
the manuscript.
Once you have made your revisions, please resubmit the manuscript to me for review. I will be
happy to provide additional feedback or answer any questions that you may have.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Dr. Roa Gamal Alamarwy, MD
