Filter by:No instrument is available for the assessment of the symptoms in patients suffering from functional dyspepsia - postprandial distress syndrome patients - PDS. Indeed PDS is an unmet clinical need in drug development. To do so, the development of suitable endpoints for its efficacy evaluation is indicated. After interviews of patients suffering from PDS (Focus groups) and identification of the emerging symptoms a draft version of the Leuven Postprandial Distress Scale (LPDS) questionnaire has been designed. This study will assess the reliability of the scoring rule, the construct validity and ability to detect change of the draft LPDS. A minimum of 100 PDS patients will be randomised in two arms receiving respectively either Itopride 100 mg tid or Placebo tid during 8 weeks. Patients of both arms will be tested with LPDS using daily diary cards and by anchor questionnaires (PAGI-SYM, OSS, OTE) at baseline and during the study drug administration period.
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.
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is defined as the presence of gastroduodenal symptoms in the absence of organic disease that is likely to explain the symptoms. Joint hypermobility (JH) refers to the increased passive or active movement of a joint beyond its normal range. Recent reports have highlighted the co-existence of FD with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type III or hypermobility type (EDSIII). The association between FD and EDS III, and the underlying pathophysiological alterations, are poorly understood. We hypothesised that EDS III might influence gastroduodenal sensorimotor function, resulting in dyspeptic symptoms. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the impact of EDS III on gastric motility, nutrient tolerance and dyspeptic symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia.Our aim is to study the prevalence of EDSIII in FD compared to healthy subjects (HS) and to study the impact of co-existing EDSIII on gastric motility, nutrient tolerance and dyspeptic symptoms in FD.
This study was conducted to prove the efficacy of BST-104 in patients with mild to moderate FD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and validity of Aolanti Weipang Tablets in Patients with Postprandial Discomfort Syndrome of Functional Dyspepsia
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a hypnotherapy treatment program for functional dyspepsia that can be self-administered using on-line audio recordings. This is a non-randomized study. All patients will receive 7 sessions of hypnotherapy treatment administered over a 12-week period. The primary objective of the study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of the self-administered hypnotherapy program. The secondary objective is to evaluate the effect of the treatment on participant reported symptom severity, quality of life, anxiety and depression.
This is an exploratory neurophysiological study that will determine the impact of non-invasive brain stimulation on autonomic regulation, with a focus on gastrointestinal function. These studies should provide a basis for future brain-based neurotherapeutic strategies in patients with functional GI disorders.
The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to compare upper GI symptoms and endoscopy findings in Canada with Japan and Iran, and correlate this with the upper GI microbiome. The investigators plan to recruit 500 new patients referred for upper GI endoscopy in Canada (McMaster University) and 500 in Japan (Tohoku University Hospital) and 500 from Iran (Tehran University of Medical Sciences). Written consent will be obtained from all participants. Patients will complete three symptom questionnaires and a demographic one before endoscopy. Then saliva collection device will be applied for collecting saliva and microbiota from the oral cavity. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) will be performed thereafter and brushing of the esophagus, stomach, and the duodenum will be done using a sterile sheathed brush (one for each site) to sample collect gut microbiota and gastric biopsies will be done for assessing H.pylori status. In addition, a group of these patients will undergo measurement of nitrate reductase activity (NRA) in their oral cavity. This will be done on twenty erosive gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients, twenty non-erosive GERD patients, and twenty patients without any endoscopic or clinical GERD. This latter part of the study will be done at the Canadian and Iranian sites only. Bacterial community profiling of the 16S rRNA gene will be carried out using paired end reads of the V3 region. Triplicate amplifications will be pooled for 150 or 250 nt paired-end Illumina sequencing in the McMaster Genome Center. For specific substudies analysis of the mycome will also be carried out.
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.
