Digestive enzyme function in people with stomach discomfort
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a problem with digesting food (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) is linked to functional dyspepsia, a condition that causes stomach pain or fullness without a clear medical cause. If you have functional dyspepsia, joining could help researchers understand and potentially improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have been diagnosed with functional dyspepsia (stomach pain or fullness with no clear cause).
- You must have tested negative for H. pylori (a type of stomach bacteria).

This trial tests whether adding digestive enzymes to your current treatment helps reduce symptoms of functional dyspepsia (a condition where your stomach hurts or feels full without a clear cause). It aims to see if these enzymes can improve your digestion and ease discomfort.
This trial is for adults aged 18 to 80 who have a Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in their stomach and have never been treated for it. The study will look at how treating the infection affects symptoms like indigestion or stomach pain.
This study uses a special stomach mapping technique and a tube to measure stomach activity in people with functional dyspepsia (long-term stomach discomfort or pain). The goal is to better understand how the stomach works, which could help improve future treatments.
This study looks at people with fatty liver disease to see how fat in the liver relates to fat in the pancreas. It may help understand the condition better and guide treatment.
This trial tests whether a combination of probiotics and ginger can improve symptoms and quality of life for people with functional dyspepsia (a condition causing ongoing stomach discomfort). Participants will take the supplement for several weeks and report how they feel.
This trial tests new ways to ease the stomach pain, bloating, or burning that comes with functional dyspepsia—a condition where your stomach feels upset but tests like an endoscopy look normal. The treatment aims to help your gut, liver, and brain work together better, which may reduce your symptoms.
