Filter by:This trial aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Zhizhu Kuanzhong Capsule in the treating patients with functional dyspepsia postprandial distress syndrome(FD PDS). Half of participants will receive Zhizhu Kuanzhong Capsule,while the other will receive a placebo.
Our group recently studied the relationship between intra-gastric pressure (IGP) and reflux events after a meal, both in gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and in healthy volunteers (HV). Ingestion of a meal was accompanied by a drop in IGP, probably representing gastric accommodation (GA). However, the magnitude of this IGP drop varied, and was inversely correlated with the number of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs) and the number of reflux events, both in patients and in HV: a smaller meal-induced drop in IGP was associated with a higher rate of reflux events, and vice versa. These findings suggest that impaired GA is a trigger for reflux. Furthermore, impaired GA is a well-established mechanism underlying symptom generation in functional dyspepsia (FD). Hence, the investigators hypothesize that impaired GA is an important pathophysiological feature explaining the overlap between GERD and FD. To evaluate this hypothesis, the investigators will study the relationship between GA, TLESRs and reflux events in HV and in a group of GERD patients which will be categorized as pure GERD or GERD/FD overlap.
The study is evaluating the efficacy of open-label placebo for the treatment of functional dyspepsia.
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by upper abdominal discomfort/pain and/or symptoms of meal-related fullness/satiety. There is currently no definitive therapy that is beneficial for all FD patients. Accumulating evidence suggests efficacy of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) in FD. However, no firm conclusion can be drawn currently due to the relatively small amount of studies and large heterogeneity between studies. In addition, TCAs are often associated with side effects, which occur early after initiation of therapy preceding the therapeutic effect and often result in discontinuation of the therapy. These side effects are related to drug metabolism, which depend on polymorphisms of the cytochrome P (CYP) enzyme system. It is therefore hypothesized that pre-treatment assessment of CYP genotype and subsequent exclusion of abnormal metabolizers limits the occurrence of side-effects and as such improves compliance and efficacy.
Dyspepsia is a very common but non-specific complaint that may indicate a group of symptoms that can be attributed to the upper gastrointestinal system, such as epigastric discomfort, abdominal bloating or fullness, stomach upset and nausea or vomiting that may be associated with food. This study aimed to improve treatment management of patients with complaints of dyspeptic pain and emergency services, and to compare treatment efficacy of oral sucralfate, alginate and hydrotalcite, which are widely used in our country. Literature According to our research, our study is the first study to compare different antacids in our study of emergency serviste dyspepsia.
To date, no study exists that evaluates whether functional dyspepsia patients experience stigma and how stigma may influence adherence. Thus, the investigators aim to evaluate the relationship between functional dyspepsia and stigma, and explore possible ways to improve treatment adherence.
Insights into the pathophysiology of functional dyspepsia, with recent demonstration of inflammation with eosinophilia and mastocytosis in the duodenum (3, 6, 7), providing a possible lead toward reduced secretion of a potential mediator of post-prandial gastric accommodation, the gastrointestinal peptide hormone secretin. The dominant site of synthesis and secretion of this hormone are enteroendocrine S cells in the duodenum. Inflammation-induced damage to these cells could produce a deficiency. Since intraluminal acid is a prominent stimulant of S cell secretion, the attempts to treat functional dyspepsia with anti-secretory medications could actually exacerbate a secretin deficiency syndrome. This raises the possibility of the therapeutic use of a secretin agonist or a positive allosteric modulator of the secretin receptor for patients with functional dyspepsia.
The main purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of domperidone in treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD) in Chinese participants and identify sub-populations (subtype of the disease) who are sensitive to domperidone treatment.
Explore the effects of auricular transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) on brain and stomach outcomes in functional dyspepsia and gastroparesis patients.
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study on the effect of Gingest (ginger root extract) on symptoms of dyspepsia in 150 participants with mild to moderate dyspepsia.
