Functional dyspepsia patients experience severe symptoms and poor quality of life without visible lesions. Abnormal gastric accommodation to meals is a key factor, involving brain-gut axis interactions.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Neurogastroenterology
  • Psychosomatic Medicine

Background:

  • Functional dyspepsia (FD) presents with severe dyspeptic symptoms and reduced quality of life, often without identifiable organic causes like ulcers or esophagitis.
  • Patients with FD frequently report a low self-assessed health status and multifocal organ system complaints.
  • The etiology of FD remains unclear, with ongoing debate regarding the roles of central nervous system and gastric disturbances.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To differentiate functional dyspepsia from gastro-oesophageal reflux disease based on distinct gastric accommodation patterns.
  • To investigate the role of abnormal gastric accommodation to meals in the pathogenesis of functional dyspepsia.
  • To present a hypothetical model for FD pathogenesis integrating psychological, neural, and gastric factors.

Main Methods:

  • Distinguishing FD from gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by analyzing gastric accommodation patterns to meals.
  • Evaluating the therapeutic effects of drugs (e.g., glyceryl trinitrate, glucagon, sumatriptan, buspirone) that improve both FD symptoms and gastric accommodation.
  • Developing a hypothetical model for FD pathogenesis.

Main Results:

  • Functional dyspepsia and GERD exhibit significantly different gastric accommodation responses to meals, suggesting distinct pathophysiological mechanisms.
  • Pharmacological agents improving gastric accommodation also alleviate FD symptoms, supporting its role in the disease.
  • A hypothetical model integrating psychological factors, low vagal tone, impaired gastric relaxation, and visceral hypersensitivity along the brain-gut axis is proposed.

Conclusions:

  • Abnormal gastric accommodation to meals is a crucial factor in functional dyspepsia.
  • Distinguishing FD from GERD is essential due to their different pathophysiological underpinnings and therapeutic potentials.
  • A multifactorial model involving the brain-gut axis provides a framework for understanding FD pathogenesis.
