Article Synopsis
- Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a complex condition with symptoms related to the upper abdomen, often linked to issues like impaired stomach muscle function and delayed emptying.
- A new drinking-ultrasonography test was created, where subjects drink water while their stomach is monitored with ultrasound to evaluate how well it works and how sensitive it is.
- Results showed that FD patients had a smaller stomach area after drinking and experienced more severe abdominal symptoms compared to healthy individuals, suggesting that this test effectively highlights the gastric issues associated with FD.
Background: Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by various upper abdominal symptoms. The major mechanism of FD symptoms includes impaired fundic accommodation, delayed gastric emptying, and visceral hypersensitivity. We developed a novel drinking-ultrasonography test to combine a drink test with ultrasonography to assess gastric motility and sensory function of FD patients.
