Antidepressant Found to be Just as Effective as Placebo in Child Pain Relief
 From Asian News International - Oct 12, 2009

Washington, October 1: A new study has shown that the antidepressant 
amitriptyline is just as  effective as placebo in treating 
pain-predominant gastrointestinal disorders in children. 
"Many  pharmaceutical products are prescribed for off-label use in 
children due to the lack of clinical  trials testing the efficacy of 
the drugs in children and adolescents."

(Why would one compare an Elavil to placebo?  Why not compare to 
other pharmacological interventions?  I'm not sure what kids usually 
take for tummy aches.  Sylvia)
