Functional gastrointestinal disorders like dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome are common, costly diseases. Visceral hypersensitivity is a key factor, with varied treatments including medication and lifestyle changes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine

Context:

  • Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), including dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), are prevalent conditions.
  • These FGIDs represent significant disease burdens with substantial direct and indirect healthcare costs.

Purpose:

  • To review the current understanding of FGIDs, focusing on their etiology, diagnosis, and management.
  • To highlight visceral hypersensitivity as a key pathophysiological factor in these disorders.

Summary:

  • Dyspepsia diagnosis often involves gastroscopy, especially for patients over 45 or with alarm symptoms.
  • Treatment for dyspepsia is empirical, with options like H. pylori eradication, proton-pump inhibitors, prokinetics, and phytotherapeutics.
  • Irritable bowel syndrome management is subtype-dependent, emphasizing doctor-patient relationships, dietary fiber, and medications such as antidiarrheals, laxatives, and muscle relaxants, alongside phytotherapeutics.

Impact:

  • Provides insights into the multifactorial nature of FGIDs.
  • Informs clinical practice regarding diagnostic approaches and therapeutic strategies for dyspepsia and IBS.
  • Underscores the importance of personalized treatment plans based on disease subtype and patient factors.
