Cognitive therapy for functional indigestion
Part of Digestive system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether cognitive behavioral therapy (a type of talk therapy focused on changing thought patterns) can help reduce symptoms of functional dyspepsia—ongoing stomach pain or discomfort after eating without an obvious medical cause. You'll participate in therapy sessions and contribute samples for research.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18–65 years old
- You have functional dyspepsia diagnosed by a doctor (stomach pain or discomfort after eating without structural disease)
- Your symptoms are either epigastric pain (pain in the upper stomach area) or postprandial distress (discomfort after eating)
- You've had active symptoms in the last month
- You're willing to attend cognitive behavioral therapy sessions and provide biological samples (blood, stool, etc.)
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial tests an “exposure-based” type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people with functional dyspepsia (stomach discomfort after eating) who avoid or restrict food. The goal is to reduce food fear and improve eating and weight, after other medical causes have been ruled out.
This study tests whether a tailored diet can improve symptoms in people with functional dyspepsia (stomach discomfort without a clear physical cause). It also uses a special in-hospital camera exam to look at the stomach lining and understand how the diet affects you.
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 two medications, acotiamide and itopride, to see which one better relieves symptoms like fullness and bloating after eating. It is for people diagnosed with postprandial distress syndrome (a type of functional dyspepsia).
This study is testing whether a probiotic supplement can help relieve symptoms of functional dyspepsia (stomach pain, fullness, or burning without a clear cause). It is for people who have moderate to severe symptoms and have not taken certain medications or supplements recently.
This trial studies whether virtual reality can help people with functional dyspepsia, a type of stomach discomfort that isn’t caused by a specific disease. You may be a good candidate if tests have ruled out other stomach problems like ulcers or an active H. pylori infection.
