Filter by:In this study, the investigators will evaluate the FODMAP diet as an alternative treatment for functional dyspepsia and explore its effect on different aspects of the pathophysiology of FD.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a decentralized clinical trial in South Korea. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does decentralized elements feasible in Korea? - Does Mastic gum alleviates symptoms and modifies stool microbiome in Korean patients with functional dyspepsia?
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of drinking electrolyzed alkaline reduced water (EARW) compared to drinking purified water (PW) on functional dyspepsia (FD) patients. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Drinking EARW (EARW group) will alleviate gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and FD symptoms compared to drinking PW (PW group). - Drinking EARW will make higher the FD-related Quality of Life (FD-QOL) compared to drinking PW. Patients will drink EARW 10mL/kg/day body weight for 6 weeks according to the instruction of researcher using the experimental device installed at each patient's house. After 6 week, EARW and PW groups will be compared to evaluate effect of GI symptom and FD-related QOL.
This is an observational study in which data from people with functional gastrointestinal disorders who decide on their own or by recommendation of their doctors or pharmacists to take Iberogast Advance are collected and studied. In observational studies, only observations are made without specified advice or interventions. Functional stomach and bowel (or gastrointestinal) disorders are conditions in which the functionality of the gut, mainly the gut muscles or the gut/brain axis, is disturbed. Functional stomach and bowel disorders cause symptoms like heartburn, cramps and pain of the upper and middle part of the belly, also known as functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS affects predominantly the lower digestive system and causes symptoms like pain of the belly, cramps, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Iberogast Advance is already available in German pharmacies without prescription for patients with gastrointestinal disorders such as FD and IBS. It contains herb extracts that work against inflammation, are calming, and protect the mucosa (innermost layer of the gastrointestinal tract). Earlier controlled studies with Iberogast Advance have shown how well it works and how it affects the body. Since Iberogast Advance is only available since October 2020, there is no information on its use in the real-world setting yet. Therefore, the study researchers want to collect data on the use of Iberogast Advance in the real-world setting. To do this, people with long-term and repeated functional gastrointestinal symptoms who purchase Iberogast Advance from participating pharmacies across Germany will be asked to fill out a questionnaire optionally covering 6 weeks of treatment. The participants will take Iberogast Advance as recommended in the product information. The main purpose of this study is to see how well Iberogast Advance works and is perceived in the real-world setting. Participants will record how they experience a change of their gastrointestinal symptoms (assessed single-symptom-based) from start and during 6 weeks of treatment. Researchers will then compare the differences and analyze treatment effects. The researchers will additionally collect information on usage behavior, characteristics of the patients, their symptoms, tolerability and their satisfaction with Iberogast Advance. There will be no required tests or visits with a study doctor in this study. The researchers will collect the results of the patient questionnaires from Jun 2022 to January 2023.
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common functional gastrointestinal disease. Several patient-reported outcome questionnaires have been established to evaluate the severity of FD, including Dyspepsia Symptom Severity Index (DSSI), Nepean Dyspepsia Index (NDI), and Short-Form Nepean Dyspepsia Index (SF-NDI). Functional Dyspepsia Symptom Diary (FDSD) is a newly symptom-focused patients-reported outcome measure raised by the Patient-Reported Outcome Consortium's Functional Dyspepsia Working Group. The association of the novel FDSD and other scores-related to FD has not been fully investigated. Furthermore, the severity of FD is varied among different patients. It remains unclear how the moderate and severe FD can be defined by the FDSD.
The investigators conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study to investigate the effects of a combined extract of green tea seed (saponins) and green tea leaves (epigallocatechin-3-gallate) on gastric mucosal protection in adults with functional dyspepsia for 8 weeks.
Objective: To observe the effect of the treatment of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) for the functional dyspepsia (FD). Methods: We accrued 94 patients at Beijing TongRen Hospital. All treatments were self-administered by the patients at home after training at the hospital. Patients completed questionnaires at baseline and after 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks. The FD Symptoms Index, Functional Dyspepsia Quality of Life Scale (FDDQL), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), and Self-Depression Rating Scale (SDS) were performed to evaluate the therapeutic effects. A difference of P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Study to asess the effects of Iberogast® (STW5) and Iberogast® N (STW5-II) in intestinal gas transit and abdominal symptoms of patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome or functional dyspepsia.
Fuctional dyspepsia is defined as the presence of symptoms thought to originate from the gastroduodenum, in the absence of any structural or metabolic disease that is likely to explain these symptoms. To facilitate its diagnostic and therapeutic approach, the Rome consensus proposed to distinguish 2 subgroups: postprandial distress syndrome (PDS), is characterized by meal-related symptoms such as early satiation and postprandial fullness. At present, no validated instrument is available for the assessment of the symptom responsiveness in patients suffering from PDS. To develop a new PRO questionnaire, we have previously conducted focus group sessions and cognitive interviews in PDS patients to identify all relevant symptom items that characterize PDS. In this study we aim to validate the provisional Leuven Postprandial Distress Scale (LPDS) through the assessment of its consistency, reliability and ability to detect change in the framework of a controlled treatment trial.
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.
