Article Synopsis
- - Gastrointestinal neuropathies, particularly diabetic gastroparesis (DG), are common in diabetic patients, leading to a need for more effective treatments. This study compares mastic gum extract to the medication levosulpiride for symptom improvement and gastric emptying in DG patients.
- - Thirty-eight participants were randomly assigned to either the mastic gum group or the levosulpiride group, and evaluations were conducted before and after 8 weeks of treatment using symptom scoring and gastric emptying tests.
- - Results showed that mastic gum significantly improved gastric emptying and reduced HbA1c and LDL levels more effectively than levosulpiride, highlighting its potential as a beneficial treatment option for DG.
