Dyspepsia

Volunteer for our clinical trials and research studies on Functional Dyspepsia

Dyspepsia is also frequently known as indigestion and causes recurrent discomfort centered in the upper abdomen. Dyspepsia is a common condition affecting between 25 to 40% of adults.

Dyspepsia may cause the following symptoms, often severe enough to diminish the quality of life for those who have the disease:

• Pain and discomfort centered in the upper abdomen, often a gnawing or burning pain
• Early sense of fullness during or after eating
• Bloating
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Burping

Functional Dyspepsia is diagnosed by a physician through a physical exam, review of medical history and testing to rule out more serious conditions.

No one knows for certain what causes functional dyspepsia, although studies have shown it may be associated with the abnormal function of muscles in certain organs of the gastrointestinal tract or in the abnormal function of the nerves that control those organs. There is no cure for Functional Dyspepsia, but doctors have found that the following may help manage its symptoms:

• Dietary advice
• Prescribed medications including antisecretory agents, promotility agents, antidepressants and serotonin antagonists
• Prescribed antidepressants
• Psychotherapy
• Alternative medicine

Living with functional dyspepsia can cause pain and discomfort and impede your normal, everyday activities. However, dyspepsia research and clinical trials are offering hopeful insights and innovative treatments.
