Childhood Abdominal Pain Research Study

Role of Energy Metabolism in Functional Abdominal Pain

We are conducting a research study looking at the role of energy metabolism in chronic abdominal pain in children. We are looking for parents of healthy children AND parents of children who suffer from chronic abdominal pain.

You will be asked to complete a phone interview about your family’s health history. This should take about 15 – 30 minutes. No visits to UNC are required.
