Brain-gut medications for functional dyspepsia treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests how certain medications that affect communication between the brain and the gut might help relieve symptoms of functional dyspepsia. If you have this condition, the trial may help improve your stomach comfort.

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 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.
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications, amitriptyline and trifluoperazine, can help patients with ongoing discomfort in the upper stomach (functional dyspepsia). It may be an option if other treatments haven't worked.
This study uses brain scans (MRIs) and a test meal to understand how the brain and stomach communicate in people with functional dyspepsia (ongoing pain or fullness). This could help improve treatments by identifying how people with this condition feel and process stomach sensations differently.
This study tests if a mobile app teaching cognitive behavioral therapy (a way to change thinking patterns) can help people with stubborn stomach pain or discomfort. It might benefit those whose symptoms haven't improved with usual medicines.
This Phase 2 study tests tradipitant to see if it can reduce symptoms of functional dyspepsia (indigestion-like discomfort without a clear cause). If you qualify, you may be asked to take the study treatment and complete study visits to measure symptom changes.
