Active clinical trials for "Dyspepsia"

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a global health problem as it is associated with peptic ulcers, chronic gastritis, duodenitis, and stomach cancer. Therefore, the eradication of the pathogen is of critical importance to reduce H. pylori-related complications . However, due to increasing antibiotic resistance, eradication of Helicobacter pylori has become more challenging. With a great decline in the eradication rate of standard triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori to below 70% in many countries. Treatment with triple therapy, which is the most frequently recommended, fails to eradicate H. pylori in approximately 20% of cases .

A phase Ⅲ, multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo and active comparator clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of combination therapy of Motireb 5/100 mg in functional dyspepsia patients.

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.

(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) 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. 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.

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.

The objective of this trial is to assess acupuncture of different treatment frequency on improving quality of life in patients with functional dyspepsia.

This is a clinical study to evaluate the efficacy between Helicobacter pylori Eradication therapy and Motilitone in Functional Dyspepsia

This is a randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial aim to compare the efficiency of genuine regional and non-genuine regional Rhizoma Atractylodis in treating functional dyspepsia. This study will also observe the clinical safety of genuine regional Rhizoma Atractylodis.The trial will be conducted in Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medicine Sciences and Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.

H.pylori is an organism which causes gastric inflammation, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and gastric cancer. Practical guideline for treatment of patients with dyspepsia and H.pylori eradication recommended the 14-day triple therapy regimen which had curable about 70% by using proton pump inhibitor (PPI) combined with antibiotics including amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole. Up to date, there has been no evidence about the cure rate for H.pylori eradication with once-daily dose regimen of high dose rabeprazole and levofloxacin based therapy. This research is to study the 7-day and 14-day cure rate of H.pylori eradication treatment with once-daily regimen of high dose rabeprazole-levofloxacin based quadruple therapy.

The aim of the study is to use Melanole, a herbal extract from Nigella sativa, for treatment of gastritis. The effect of Melanole will be compared between participants (including H. pylori and non-H.pylori infected patients), with the triple therapy and Standard of care treatment of gastritis, respectively. All participants will be examined before and after the administration of Melanole. The results showing a relief of gastritis symptoms for non-H. pylori patients and partial or complete eradication of H. pylori for H.pylori infected patients will be evaluated.
