How stress and diet affect gut health with mood symptoms
Part of Digestive system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how early-life stress, diet, and metabolism affect digestive problems like irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia, along with mood or stress symptoms. If you join, you help researchers better understand the connection between your gut and brain, which could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with functional dyspepsia, gastroparesis, or irritable bowel syndrome, and have had symptoms like nausea, vomiting, feeling full after meals, or bloating for at least 3 months.
- You also have some psychological symptoms such as depression, anxiety, stress, or a history of difficult life events (checked with a questionnaire).
- You have had an endoscopy (camera test) of your stomach and colon that showed no ulcers, tumors, or other serious digestive diseases.
- You are not taking certain medications that affect stomach movement (like prokinetics) or drugs that affect metabolism (like steroids or statins) in the last month.

This study looks at how emotional well-being relates to common digestive problems like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia (indigestion without a clear cause). It may help understand if improving mental health can ease stomach symptoms.
This study explores how stress and mood changes affect irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) using brain imaging. Researchers will scan your brain and collect health information to understand the connection between your gut and mental health.
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 study compares different dietary and behavioral treatments to find out which works best for different people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). You'll be asked to follow a specific treatment program to see how it affects your symptoms.
This study compares how people with and without irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) react to different foods. It may help find which foods trigger symptoms and which are safe to eat.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) and how they relate to your IBS symptoms. It may help researchers understand IBS better and could lead to new treatments.
