Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Physiology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Context:

  • Functional digestive disorders lack identifiable pathological causes via standard diagnostics.
  • Recent advancements enable detailed study of human digestive motor and sensory functions.
  • These studies correlate functional alterations with specific digestive symptoms.

Purpose:

  • To explore the relationship between physiological alterations and symptoms in functional digestive disorders.
  • To identify specific pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these conditions.
  • To facilitate a shift from symptom-based to mechanism-based diagnostic classifications.

Summary:

  • New methods allow detailed investigation of digestive motor and sensory functions.
  • Specific motor and sensory alterations have been identified in patient subgroups.
