Filter by:The purpose of the study is to testify the efficacy of treating functional dyspepsia with acupuncture, and provide evidence for the hypothesis that "Acupuncture effect is based on meridians, and gathering of meridian Qi is the key point."
The purpose of this study is to determine if use of Nortriptyline will improve symptoms and quality of life in patients who have nonulcer dyspepsia.
There is some controversy in the medical literature regarding the effectiveness of topical lidocaine in children as an adjuvant drug to upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. In children, deep sedation and general anesthesia are often used to sedate children submitting to this procedure. Propofol is an anesthetic drug increasingly popular in this situation, but this drug can only be used with an anesthesiologist in Brazil. Its main side effects include hypotension, respiratory depression and local pain. Lidocaine is frequently used as premedication, and the rationale is that lowering patient discomfort could lower the required dose to achieve the endoscopy and reduce potential side effects. Nevertheless, some patients perceive this medication as uncomfortable. This study aims to compare sedative drug doses between patients who were given either placebo or topical lidocaine.
Z-338; PhaseIIb, Single-centre, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel group study in Subjects with Functional Dyspepsia, evaluate the motility of gastro-duodenum by ultrasound
The principal investigator hypothesizes that participants receiving NSAID drugs with dyspeptic symptoms have increased production of gastric levels of free radicals. The primary objective of the study is to determine if Esomeprazole Magnesium increases gastric total antioxidant capacity and decreases gastric free radical production in humans. Participants (age 18 years and older) with no history of upper GI bleeding who are receiving non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and then develop dyspepsia will be recruited from our primary care clinic in Washington, DC. All eligible participants will undergo biopsies of antrum and corpus. The participants will be randomized to receive either Zantac OTC or Nexium for 15 days. On day 15, all participants will undergo repeat upper endoscopy to obtain biopsies of antrum and corpus. Tissue samples will then be extracted to determine total antioxidant capacity and lipid peroxide levels (as an indirect marker of free radical production).
Study title: Functional dyspepsia -- effect of acid reducing treatment and individualized information. Summary: 15-20% of all people experience dyspepsia each year. Dyspepsia means pain or discomfort in the upper part of the abdomen. Accompanying symptoms from the esophagus may be present. The most important relevant medical examination is gastroscopy, and if the findings are normal the condition is usually classified as functional dyspepsia. Several disturbances of function are now known as potential causes of such symptoms, and the optimal choice of treatment may vary. In the study the investigators plan to examine whether different types of functional disturbances respond differently to medical therapy. In particular, the investigators want to assess whether comprehensive and individualized information will influence the results of therapy. This has not been previously studied systematically. The investigators also postulate that disturbances of function of the esophagus may cause complaints that should be classified as functional dyspepsia even if the symptoms are atypical. Few studies have been done to evaluate this hypothesis, and there may be potential consequences for choice of appropriate treatment. In animal models and in humans is recently demonstrated that elevated gastric pH because of anti-ulcer treatment can trigger food allergy. We use a proton pump inhibitor in our study and eventually development of food allergy will influence patient's condition in an observations period. That why we're observing IgE dynamics in our study.
A double-blind clinical trial investigating if a sub-group of functional dyspeptic patients without any use of NSAID or gastric erosions could have a better evolution of their dyspeptic symptoms after Helicobacter eradication than the placebo control group
The primary purpose of the study is to determine the effect of esomeprazole compared to placebo in patients from general practice who have previously been treated with proton-pump-inhibitors (PPI) and who have no upper endoscopic findings.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether intestinal permeability and/or serum zonulin concentration is increased in children/adolescents with functional dyspepsia (FD). The study will also explore the relationships between intestinal permeability, mucosal inflammation and anxiety in FD patients.
This study was designed is to examine the idea that GW679769 has an effect on three of the pathophysiological disturbances reported in patients with Functional Dyspepsia (FD): impaired stomach accommodation to a meal, delayed stomach emptying, and visceral hypersensitivity to distension.
