Specific Aim 2: Evaluate the relationship between changes in sleep and improvement in pain in pediatric patients with functional dyspepsia receiving melatonin. Hypothesis: There will be no association between improvement in pain and improvement in sleep in children with functional dyspepsia receiving melatonin.
