Abstract

Chronic abdominal pain is a common problem seen by pediatricians and pediatric gastroenterologist alike. There should not be evidence of underlying organic pathology, with diagnosis based upon the Rome IV criteria. Although it frequently occurs, routine diagnostic testing is not always necessary. Providing assurance and helpful coping strategies is key in the management of chronic abdominal pain. Sometimes other expertise is needed when developing these strategies.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
