Abstract
This article synthesizes current knowledge on visceral pain, exploring its mechanisms, including neuronal sensitization, neuroinflammation, and glial cell involvement. It examines visceral hypersensitivity in functional gastrointestinal disorders, the role of the enteric nervous system, and the impact of chronic inflammation and the gut microbiome. Therapeutic strategies such as neuromodulation, alongside psychological interventions, are discussed. Advances in neuroimaging and diagnostic challenges are also highlighted, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach for effective management
