Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders in Children-A Holistic Homoeopathic Overview

Abstract

Functional abdominal pain is one of the most common causes of chronic or recurrent abdominal pain in children. Functional abdominal pain disorders are highly prevalent pediatric conditions that significantly impair a child's quality of life and increase healthcare utilization. Conventional management often relies on symptom-specific pharmacotherapy, which may offer limited relief and present adverse effects. Homeopathy provides a individualized, holistic alternative, targeting the interconnected physical, emotional, and constitutional facets of the pediatric patient. This article explores how homoeopathy can provide a holistic and safe approach to eradicate functional abdominal pain.
