Functional dyspepsia (FD) includes postprandial distress and epigastric pain syndrome. Percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation (PENFS) in addition to behavioral interventions (BI) has shown benefits in children with functional abdominal pain but not specifically in FD. We aimed to assess the efficacy of PENFS for treating FD and compare the outcomes with those who received the combination of PENFS + BI.
