Pain reprocessing therapy for functional dyspepsia
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a type of talk therapy called Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) to see if it helps reduce stomach pain and discomfort in people with functional dyspepsia. The therapy aims to retrain the brain's response to pain signals, potentially easing symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with functional dyspepsia, specifically the postprandial distress syndrome subtype, which causes pain or burning in the upper belly after eating.
- Your stomach symptoms are at least moderate in severity, as measured by a standard symptom questionnaire.
- You have had normal gastric emptying (stomach emptying) test results, if done.
- You have had an upper endoscopy in the past year that showed no other cause for your symptoms.
- You are fluent in English and can provide informed consent.

This Phase 2 study tests tradipitant to see if it can reduce symptoms of functional dyspepsia (indigestion-like discomfort without a clear cause). If you qualify, you may be asked to take the study treatment and complete study visits to measure symptom changes.
This trial tests whether cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) — a type of talk therapy that helps change thoughts and behaviors — can ease the stomach pain and discomfort of functional dyspepsia. You'll also provide samples for research, which may help understand how this condition works.
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.
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 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 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.
