Summary
Chronic abdominal pain (CAP) is a constant or recurrent pain that lasts for more than three months. Abdominal pain is the most common GI symptom, and it is a leading cause for inpatient and outpatient visits. International prevalence is between 22% and 25%, with more women reporting abdominal pain than men (24% versus 17%). Many diseases can cause CAP. Treatments include celiac plexus neurolysis, celiac plexus blocking agent, various pharmacologic treatment, spinal cord stimulation, and lifestyle modifications.
