Abdominal Symptom Phenotype: Pathways to New Biomarkers
In Brief
An observational study for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Children and adults commonly suffer from recurrent abdominal (stomach) pain. One type is called irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS in adults and children is one of the most common and costly health care problems in the US. Some children have pain frequently (recurrent pain) while others rarely have pain. The investigators are conducting this study to help us answer questions about the causes and treatments, and management of IBS in children. The purpose of this study is to find out if there is more than one type of IBS in children. If there is, this will be important in deciding the best treatments. The investigators also want to learn how children with IBS differ from those who do not have recurrent abdominal (stomach) pain.
