Herbal Compound for Chronic Stomach Lining Issue
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a Chinese herbal medicine (Hedyotis diffusa granules) to see if it can help people with chronic atrophic gastritis (thinning of the stomach lining) that has caused intestinal metaplasia (a change in stomach cells). It may help reduce the risk of stomach cancer and improve stomach health.
