Patients with dyspeptic symptoms vary from 10% to 20% globally. Up to 70% of patients with dyspepsia who undergo endoscopy have unremarkable examination and are diagnosed with functional dyspepsia (FD). Given the lack of information related to its pathophysiology, the treatment is largely empirical and of limited efficacy. Previous small study showed therapeutic potential of transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) for FD. This study aims to investigate whether taVNS can improve the dyspeptic symptoms of patients with FD.
Functional dyspepsia is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) encountered in clinical practice. Functional dyspepsia is a clinical syndrome characterized by chronic and recurrent gastroduodenal symptoms in the absence of any organic or metabolic disease that is likely to explain the symptoms. Functional dyspepsia has a high incidence in the population. A recent research showed that FD is present in 11% of the Italian general population. It dramatically reduces a patient's quality of life, with an economic impact due to frequent clinical consultations, medication, and time off work. Although some experts recommend exercise as a first-line treatment for functional dyspepsia, there is little data on the relationship between exercise and functional dyspepsia, which needs to be confirmed by further research. Investigators designed this randomized controlled study to assess the effect of exercise on patients with functional dyspepsia based on Rome IV criteria.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of Z-338 of pediatric patients with functional dyspepsia (FD). In Part 1, the pharmacokinetics and safety of single oral dose of Z-338 100 mg are evaluated. In Part 2, the efficacy and safety of Z-338 100 mg orally 3 times daily before meals are evaluated. Part 2 is comprised by the double-blind phase and the open-label phase. In the double-blind phase, subjects will take Z-338 or placebo for 28 days. In the open-label phase, all subjects will take Z-338 for 28 days.
This clinical trial was designed to evaluate the functional and safety effects on dyspeptic symptoms compared to the placebo when ingested with EDL (Extract of Dolichos lablab Linne) in adults who complain of dyspeptic symptoms.
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common digestive system disease in clinic. Although it has not reached the level of life-threatening, it seriously affects the quality of life of patients. The pathogenesis of FD mainly involves gastric motility disorder and visceral hypersensitivity. At present, there are gastric motility promoting drugs and gastric acid inhibiting drugs, but they can not achieve satisfactory therapeutic effect. Traditional Chinese medicine has a good clinical effect on FD, but the specific mechanism is not clear. With the gradual deepening of intestinal flora research, it provides a useful tool for elucidating the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine compound. The role of intestinal flora in the pathogenesis of FD, especially in the pathogenesis of symptoms, has not been studied, and the mechanism of Spleen-strengthening and motility-promoting effects of Xiangsha Liujun has not been studied from the perspective of intestinal flora. In this study, 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology was used to observe the difference of intestinal flora between FD patients and normal people, and then to observe the effect of Xiangsha Liujun on intestinal flora of FD patients. The aim of this study was to explore the role of intestinal flora in the pathogenesis of FD and to elucidate the therapeutic mechanism of Xiangsha Liujunzi by regulating intestinal flora of FD patients, so as to provide support for follow-up clinical and experimental studies.
A 13 weeks randomized, double-blind and placebo parallel-controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Zhizhu Kuanzhong Capsule in the treatment of functional dyspepsia-postprandial distress syndrome.
- (Cause of cholelithiasis) Recently, the average age has increased, and the occurrence of gallstones has increased as the dietary life has been westernized due to the improvement of socio-economic level. When cholesterol increases, the occurrence of gallstones increases. Factors include high-calorie high-fat diet, increasing age, women, pregnant women, obesity, and oral contraceptives. There are cases. As another cause, gallstones occur well even when bile stasis occurs due to a decrease in motility of the gallbladder. These are conditions that lower mobility. And cholelithiasis has a genetic tendency in about 30%. In addition, since the eating habits of the family are similar, the genetic factors and the eating habits overlap, which often leads to the occurrence of cholelithiasis in the family. - (symptoms of cholelithiasis) In most cases, complaints of non-specific digestive system symptoms, such as abdominal bloating, nausea, and especially indigestion after fatty diet, are often observed. According to domestic reports, the nonspecific symptoms complained by patients with cholelithiasis were indigestion, flatulence, frequent belching, nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and vomiting. In general, many healthy people without gallstones complain of non-specific digestive system symptoms in 50% of cases, and there is a possibility that functional gastrointestinal diseases such as dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, and gastritis may be accompanied by these digestive system symptoms. It is difficult to know whether it is unrelated to gallstones. Symptoms caused by typical cholelithiasis usually have a characteristic that they often improve on their own after a few hours, and the start and end of the symptoms are relatively clear and repeatedly occur. In addition, various symptoms are displayed depending on the presence or absence of inflammation and progression. - (Principle of treatment of cholelithiasis) 1. Medical treatment: Medical treatment of gallstones is a method of dissolving using drugs to treat cholesterol gallstones in gallbladder stones. In 1973, Nakano et al. [1] published the first example of dissolving cholesterol gallstones using ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Currently, UDCA is the only drug administered to patients with asymptomatic or mild symptoms of cholelithiasis in actual clinical practice, and there is no specific prescription drug. 2. Surgical treatment: In the case of indications of cholecystectomy, acute cholecystitis, severe symptoms, chronic cholecystitis with severe thickening of the gallbladder wall, repeated and severe symptoms, porcelain gallbladder, Patients with gallstones of 3 cm or more in size, patients with anomalous pancreato-biliary duct unions, or gallbladder polyps. - (Study on increasing gallbladder contractility) So far, there have been studies that some drugs increase or decrease gallbladder contractility. Catnach SM et al. [2] reported that erythromycin increased gallbladder contractility in patients with autonomic neuropathy due to diabetes. Sengupta S et al. [3] reported that indoramin (α-adrenergic antagonist), a prokinetic agent, increased gallbladder contractility in patients with cholelithiasis, resulting in a significant decrease in gallbladder volume. Motilitone® developed in Korea is a gastrointestinal motility stimulator that stimulates 5-HT4 receptors to increase acetylcholine secretion and has a mechanism of contracting smooth muscles, improving symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia in cholelithiasis It is expected to be able to give, and it is thought to have the effect of preventing the crystallization of bile acids due to an increase in the gallbladder contractility, thereby preventing the formation of gallstones and preventing newly generated gallstones. To date, there are no special drugs for dyspepsia or pain improvement in patients with cholelithiasis. It is hypothesized that administration of motilitone® will increase the contractile capacity of the gallbladder, thereby improving digestion and preventing further formation of gallstones. As a control group, Gasmotin® was administered to improve functional dyspepsia, and the degree of symptom improvement was measured and compared by completing the Symptom Score Questionnaire for Indigestion between the two groups.
Digestive Functional Disorders (DFD), represent 50% of medical check ups, the symptoms interfere with patients quality of life and generate high health costs. On the other hand, with the worldwide overweight and obesity increase,causing an over production of low-calorie products, which increase the non-caloric sweeteners (NCS) consumption. Hypothesis: A diet without NCS will reduce gastrointestinal symptoms in volunteers with dyspepsia and IBS. Objective: To asses the effect of a diet without NCS, on the gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with dyspepsia and IBS. Secondary Objectives: To compare the effect of a diet without NCS against a diet with NCS on anthropometry, changes in body composition, biochemical parameters, glucose and insulin. To asses the change in the gut microbiota using real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) Methodology: it will be an experimental, open, parallel, controlled study lasting 12 weeks, patients with dyspepsia or IBS will be randomized assigned to a diet with or without NCS. Laboratory studies, dietary and symptoms questionnaires, anthropometry measurements and faecal sample will be carried out. Analysis Results: A double data capture will be carried out to minimize errors, for the statistical analysis of using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25, descriptive statistics will be used to report the baseline data of the volunteers. Using means and standard deviation, the variables of gastrointestinal symptoms will be used a chi-square test and a p <0.05 will be considered significant. Different analyzes will be done to evaluate volunteers with IBS and those with dyspepsia. For the intestinal microbiota analysis, a comparison will be made between the percentages of Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria of sample 1 and 2 and a chi-square test will be performed considering a p <0.05 significant
In this study, diffusion tensor imaging（DTI）technique was used to evaluate the brain microstructures and connective white matter microstructures in patients with refractory FD, resting fMRI was used to evaluate the functional connectivity between hemispheres, and neuroimaging changes after antidepressant intervention were observed to explore the activation patterns of resting brain homeostasis-receptive network areas in patients with refractory FD. We aimed to explore microstructure of white matter and gray matter and functional connectivity between hemispheres to explain the therapeutic mechanism of antidepressants.
