Comparative Effect of Trimebutine and Probiotics on Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders (FAPD) in Children: Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT)
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of trimebutine and probiotics in treating Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders (FAPD) in a pediatric population. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is trimebutine effective in reducing the symptoms of FAPD in children? Are probiotics effective in reducing the symptoms of FAPD in children? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups (trimebutine/probiotics, probiotics/placebo, or trimebutine/placebo). Undergo measurements for pain and other relevant metrics at the start of the study, after 4 weeks, and after 8 weeks. Researchers will compare the trimebutine/probiotics group to the probiotics/placebo and the trimebutine/placebo groups to see if there are significant differences in the efficacy of these treatments in reducing symptoms of FAPD in children.
• Pediatric patients from 4 to 18 years old.
• Meeting the Rome IV criteria for any of the Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders (Functional Dyspepsia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Abdominal Migraine or Functional Abdominal Pain Not Otherwise Specified)
• Having the informed consent signed by the parents or legal guardians of the minor.
