Recurrent Abdominal Pain

Gerard A. Banez

Heather M. Gallagher

The Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH

The purpose of this article is to provide an empirically informed but clinically oriented overview of behavioral treatment of recurrent abdominal pain. The epidemiology and scope of recurrent abdominal pain are presented. Referral process and procedures are discussed, and standardized approaches to assessment are summarized. Treatment protocols developed by Sanders and colleagues and by Finney and colleagues are described, followed by a review of treatment efficacy. The article concludes with practice recommendations that emphasize the importance of reassurance and education, appropriate and realistic treatment goals, the child's daily functional status, and treatment plans tailored to match the child and family's presentation.
