Core Tip	Medical therapy is limited in children with functional dyspepsia. This creates a challenging clinical dilemma with regards to managing their symptoms. Melatonin has been shown to have a positive effect on pain in adults with functional dyspepsia or irritable bowel syndrome, independent of its effects on sleep. To date, there have been no studies to evaluate the effect of melatonin on abdominal pain in children. In the current study, melatonin did not result in im-provement in abdominal pain or sleep parameters in children with functional dyspepsia.
