Summary
This study will look at 130 children with chronic abdominal pain to see how often an upper endoscopy (a camera down the throat) finds a physical cause. The children will have the procedure as part of their normal care, and researchers will analyze the results. The goal is to better understand when this test is helpful for kids with long-lasting belly pain.
