  • Title: Recurrent abdominal pain in childhood and adolescence.
    Author: Poole SR.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1984 Aug; 30(2):131-7. PubMed ID: 6464955.
    Abstract:
    Most children and adolescents with recurrent abdominal pain (three or more episodes over three months) have psychophysiologic pain. This diagnosis can be based on specific criteria. Features include periumbilical or epigastric pain that occurs in the context of stressful events; a review of systems that does not point to organic disease; a family history of psychophysiologic gastrointestinal symptoms; a physical examination that reveals only abdominal tenderness, and negative laboratory tests.
