Influence of the Combined Psychological and Medical Treatment in the Improvement of Symptoms and Quality of Life in Patients With Functional Dyspepsia
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Psychological support and No intervention for Psychogenic Dyspepsia. Completed, enrolled 158 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Functional dyspepsia (FD)is defined as the presence of symptoms thought to originate in the gastroduodenal region with no evidence of structural disease that is likely to explain the symptoms. The cause of this condition is unclear, not being a recognized treatment for it. The conventional treatments for those patients are symptom based. Unfortunately, these medications are not very effective. Patients with FD report poorer health status, mental health, and social functioning than patients with structural gastrointestinal pathology. Our aim is to compare a combined intervention (medical plus psychological intervention) versus conventional intervention (medical intervention)in regard to the health related quality of life, symptomatology, anxiety and depression of those patients. The investigators hypothesized that compared with conventional intervention a combined intervention would yield significantly better short (after treatment) and medium term (six months after treatment) improvement of health related quality of life and symptoms.
