We have surveyed the epidemiology of functional dyspepsia in 7 cases of Children and investigated the therapeutic effect on Functional Dyspepsia following 4 weeks medication of Naesowhajung-tang using Electrogastrogram. The Results were as followings: 1. Sex ratio are 6 males, 1 female; their mean ages, $9.0{\pm}1.41(7-11years)$; length, $137.2{\pm}13.86cm$; body weight, $35.3{\pm}l1.34kg$. 2. Most of subjects have a normal growth state. But one case have severe growth disturbance. Familial tendency for this disease is noted in 85.8%. 3. Abdominal pain was seen in 100% of subjects. The indicated symptom was lowed in order of abdominal pain(100%), nausea vomiting(71.43%), general fatigue(65.34%), vertigo headache(57.14%), belching(55.38%), etc. 4. The EGG finding after treatment was improved in 53%, aggrevated in 43. In cases, postprandial improvement was more remarkable than fasting improvement. Common cold and antibiotics seems to have functioned as an aggrevating factor on gastric motility.
