Abstract
Chronic nausea is an increasingly acknowledged complaint in children It is commonly encountered in association with functional gastrointestinal GI disorders but can also occur in isolation As such there is no pediatric diagnostic classification for chronic idiopathic nausea The pathophysiology appears complex from foregut motor and sensory disturbances to autonomic imbalance and CNS influences Also there is scarcity of specific treatments that target this highly bothersome symptom Treatment is mainly empiric or aimed at other functional complaints Our retrospective data indicate a high prevalence of comorbid conditions in children with chronic nausea These include migraines autonomic disturbances sleep problems fatigue and anxiety Identifying specific features and targeting these therapeutically may be essential for improved treatment outcomes
