Abstract:
Functional dyspepsia is still a puzzling medical problem. The causes are unknown, the pathogenetic mechanisms are uncertain, the management is controversial and medications are many times insufficient. The research so far has given conflicting results at all levels of investigation. This study represents an effort to collect all available data concerning the most disputed issues of functional dyspepsia. Topics regarding Helicobacter pylori eradication, pathophysiology, endoscopic and histologic correlations with symptomatology, the placebo effect and management options are presented following an evidence-based approach. Many articles, published in recent years, are discussed in order to obtain an overall insight of this peculiar symptom complex, named functional dyspepsia.
