Summary
Many children and adolescents often experience long-lasting stomach pain. In many cases, this is due to disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional abdominal pain, and functional dyspepsia. These conditions are caused by disrupted communication between the brain and the gut. They are linked to significant suffering, reduced quality of life, and higher school absenteeism. Psychological treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have shown good effect, but waiting times within healthcare are often long.
