Recurrent Abdominal Pain In Childhood

Participants will gain an understanding of the epidemiology, classification, and etiology of RAP, highlighting both organic and functional causes. The session also reviews the biopsychosocial model of functional pain, examining risk factors, evidence-based treatment strategies, and expected patient outcomes.

Additionally, the webinar outlines a practical clinical approach for evaluating and managing children with recurrent abdominal pain. Key topics include the role of psychological stress, dietary influences, and genetic predisposition in RAP development.

Through case-based discussions and interactive sessions, participants will explore diagnostic tools, including symptom-based criteria and laboratory investigations, to distinguish between functional and organic RAP. By integrating these insights, pediatricians can improve diagnostic accuracy, tailor interventions, and provide comprehensive care for affected patients and their families, ensuring timely referrals and multidisciplinary management approaches that optimize patient well-being and long-term health outcomes.
