Needles for tummies: can ancient practice ease Kids' chronic pain?

NCT ID NCT07435610

Summary

This study is testing whether acupuncture can help reduce stomach pain in children with gut-brain interaction disorders, which cause chronic digestive issues. Researchers will compare real acupuncture to a fake 'sham' treatment in 96 kids aged 8-17 to see if it lowers pain intensity and improves their quality of life. The goal is to provide better evidence for using this common alternative therapy in pediatric care.
