Domperidone, at a dosage of 20 mg t.d.s before meals, in a double-blind, crossover, placebo-controlled trial reduced the level of the symptoms of dyspepsia by 76% compared to a 16% reduction with placebo. This difference was statistically significant (p less than 0.001). Thirteen of the fourteen patients in the study preferred domperidone to placebo. Four patients in the active treatment period and one in the placebo complained of mild side-effects.

Efficacy and safety of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus flavonoid Tablets vs. domperidone for functional dyspepsia: a multicenter, double-blind, double-dummy, randomized controlled phase III trial.
Acta Gastroenterol Belg

Department of Gastroenterology, Guangdong Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- A study examined the effectiveness and safety of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus flavonoid (AFIF) tablets compared to domperidone for treating functional dyspepsia (FD).
- After 4 weeks of treatment, both AFIF and domperidone showed similar rates of symptom relief, but AFIF had a significantly higher rate of symptom disappearance 4 weeks after stopping treatment.
- The AFIF group also experienced fewer adverse events, suggesting a better safety profile compared to domperidone.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how Weichang'an pill (WCAP) affects functional dyspepsia (FD) in rats, focusing on brain-gut peptides and gut microbiota as potential treatment mechanisms.
- Researchers created an FD rat model and divided the rats into different treatment groups, including those receiving WCAP and a control for comparison, then measured gastrointestinal motility and gut microbiota composition.
- Results showed that WCAP improved FD symptoms by enhancing gastric emptying, regulating brain-gut peptide levels, and restoring gut microbiota balance, suggesting it could be an effective treatment for FD.
Brain drug delivery from the nasal olfactory region is enhanced using lauroylcholine chloride: An estimation using in vivo PET imaging.

Introduction: Intranasal (IN) administration, often referred to as nose-to-brain (N2B) drug delivery, is an attractive approach for delivering drugs to the central nervous system. However, the efficacy of this method is limited because of the small size of the nasal olfactory region, which limits the drug dosage. Using permeation enhancers could improve drug delivery from this region to the brain, though their effects are not fully understood.

Background: Jianweixiaoshi tablets (JWXS) is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating functional dyspepsia with spleen deficiency (SD-FD) in China. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of JWXS remain incompletely understood.
Methods: Functional dyspepsia was induced in rats with spleen deficiency by iodoacetamide in combination with the modified multiple platform method.
