Active clinical trials for "Dyspepsia"

The study hypothesis is appropriate clinician-patient communication that provides explanations of the reasons for psychoactive drug prescriptions based on the generation of FD symptoms and the drugs' effects might improve compliance with psychoactive agent regimens among FD patients.

Hypothesis: Acupuncture is efficacious and safe for patients with functional dyspepsia Design: A single blind randomized controlled trial 200 participants will be included Two arms: acupuncture and sham acupuncture group

The purpose of this study is to observe the efficacy of ten day triple therapy-based, bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for H.pylori treatment.

To examine and compare the efficacy of 2 week Levofloxacin-containing therapies with and without Bismuth for H.pylori treatment.

The efficacy of traditional triple therapy has been decreased to such an unacceptable level as 70% in many areas. The study is based on the hypothesis: the most important factors which influence the effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication included acid suppression intensity and sensitivity of antibiotics. So the investigators chose dual therapy because it is simple and verified to be useful. Rabeprazole, as a new proton pump inhibitor (PPI), is reported to be less susceptible to the influence of genetic polymorphisms for CYP2C19. So it has a greater and faster acid suppression effect compared to other PPIs. Amoxicillin is one of effective antibiotics to H. pylori with few side effects. The antibiotic resistance of Amoxicillin is no more than 3% in China. The purpose of our trial is to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of dual therapy regimens with different doses of Rabeprazole for initial treatment of H. pylori infection.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a daily supplement consisting of the probiotic bacteria, Lactobacillus reuteri, on the digestive health among persons 65 years and older.

A double-blind clinical trial investigating if a sub-group of functional dyspeptic patients without any use of NSAID or gastric erosions could have a better evolution of their dyspeptic symptoms after Helicobacter eradication than the placebo control group

To assess in subjects with and without functional dyspepsia the effects of Z-338 on: Type and severity of symptoms a standardized nutrient challenge The gastric nutrient distribution and gastric emptying of a standardized nutrient challenge The association of the above with the manifestations of symptoms and symptom pattern

This study is being done to evaluate the safety, tolerability and satisfactory relief of dyspepsia symptoms in females excluding those with predominant stomach pain. Tegaserod will be evaluated at 6mg twice daily and placebo.

Study to provide initial data to assess the safety and efficacy of tegaserod use in patients with dyspepsia that are being treated with proton pump inhibitors (PPI's) for heartburn.
