Study on brain function of the frontal lobe in patients with functional gastroduodenal disease by near-infrared...

functional gastroduodenal disease is the main type of functional gastrointestinal disease in the clinical department of Gastroenterology and psychosomatic medicine at present, which accounts for a large proportion of outpatients in gastroenterology. The main manifestations are epigastric pain, dyspepsia, belching, chronic nausea, and vomiting. The purpose of this study is to explore the changes in brain function in patients with functional gastroduodenal diseases through experiments to reveal the possible central etiology and development process.

the functional changes of the prefrontal lobe in patients with functional gastroduodenal diseases and normal controls were detected and analyzed by near-infrared brain imaging. At the same time, SCL-90 was used to evaluate the mental health status of patients with functional gastroduodenal diseases and normal controls. The changes in the autonomic nerve system in patients and normal controls were detected and compared by heart rate variability trend chart.

the activity of left prefrontal lobe areas s8-d8, s10-d4, s10-d10 and s10-d15 in patients with functional gastroduodenal disease was significantly lower than normal controls (p < 0.05). The SCL-90 scale showed that there were significant differences between patients with functional gastroduodenal disease and normal controls, especially in depression, compulsion, anxiety, somatization, interpersonal sensitivity and hostility (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in lf/hf values detected by the HRV trend chart (p > 0.05).

the function of the left frontal lobe is decreased in patients with functional gastroduodenal disease. The autonomic nervous system may be related to the connection system between the brain center and internal organs.
