It can be associated with functional gastrointestinal disorders such as IBS, chronic gastritis, or visceral hypersensitivity, often presenting as cramping, bloating, or dull, persistent pain.</p> <p>While Western medicine addresses abdominal pain through antispasmodics, dietary modification, and sometimes neuromodulators, <strong>Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)</strong> views it as a manifestation of <strong>Cold-Damp</strong> accumulation or <strong>Spleen-Stomach Deficiency</strong>—where insufficient Qi and Yang fail to warm and nourish the digestive organs. This guide provides evidence-based TCM strategies for chronic abdominal pain relief.</p>
