Frequently asked questions
What's the evidence?
Nerva is built on published clinical research, including a randomised controlled trial, and was developed with Dr Simone Peters at Monash University. You can explore the studies on our research page.
What is a disorder of gut-brain interaction?
A disorder of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) is a condition where the gut and brain stop communicating smoothly. The nerves in and around your gut become more sensitive, so normal digestive signals are felt far more strongly.
That's why your symptoms are real even when tests come back clear. Nothing is structurally damaged; the system is on high alert.
What is Nerva's cost?
Nerva is a 12-month programme. It's £149 (€199 in the EU) today and £299 (€379) from 15 January 2027, and you may pay less through the Nerva Bridge programme.
