Study of STW 5-II for stomach discomfort and digestion
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a herbal medicine called STW 5-II for people with functional dyspepsia (ongoing stomach pain or fullness without a clear cause). Researchers want to see if it helps heal the stomach lining and ease symptoms like bloating, pain, or feeling full quickly after meals.
