Acupuncture with mild electric pulses for stomach upset
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests if a gentle form of acupuncture with mild electric pulses (electroacupuncture) can help relieve stomach pain and discomfort from functional dyspepsia. If you have ongoing stomach issues without a clear cause, this treatment might be an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with functional dyspepsia (ongoing stomach upset without a clear medical cause).

This trial tests a treatment using gentle electrical stimulation on the ear to see if it helps people who have both functional dyspepsia (stomach discomfort) and trouble sleeping. It aims to improve both symptoms and understand how the treatment works.
This study tests if pressing on specific body and ear points can help relieve symptoms of functional dyspepsia, a condition where the stomach feels uncomfortable without any clear damage. It may offer a drug-free way to manage symptoms like pain, bloating, or nausea.
This trial tests a combination of a non-invasive nerve stimulation device and supportive therapy to help people with functional dyspepsia. The goal is to improve digestion and reduce stomach pain.
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 trial tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture that uses a mild electric current) can reduce severe period pain caused by adenomyosis. If you have painful periods from adenomyosis and have not used hormonal treatments recently, this study may offer a non-drug treatment option.
