Advancements in therapeutics available for the management of FC necessitate further investigation on safety and efficacy in pediatric populations. Careful consideration should be taken in choosing an available treatment with limited pediatric evidence as adult and pediatric FC have different underlying pathophysiology and require a different therapeutic approach. Standardization of methodology and pediatric endpoints are needed to optimize ability to compare efficacy of different treatments. We predict the future of pediatric FC management will include a personalized approach to care, resulting in improved outcomes.
