Herbal medicine for stomach pain and fullness
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests an herbal medicine (STW 5-II) to see if it improves the stomach lining and reduces symptoms in people with functional dyspepsia (long-term stomach pain or discomfort after eating). It studies how the treatment affects the inside of the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) and whether it helps with symptoms.
