About this trial

Dyspepsia is a common problem attributed to gastric sensorimotor dysfunctions ie, delayed, or less frequently rapid gastric emptying (GE), impaired gastric accommodation, and increased gastric sensation. Therapeutic options manage symptoms, and there is no FDA approved medical therapy for dyspepsia. There is a need for better objective understanding of sensorimotor dysfunction in dyspepsia, as well as noninvasive, efficacious, safe, and inexpensive treatments for dyspepsia.

The purpose of this research is to identify disturbances and characterize phenotypes in patients with functional dyspepsia, and to assess the correlations between symptoms (during the manometry and in daily life), gastric emptying, electrical activity (BSGM), and pressure activity (manometry).

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Symptoms consistent with functional dyspepsia as defined by the ROME IV criteria for 6 months

Ability to perform appropriate informed consent

Disqualifiers

Conditions precluding safe use of taVNS

Clinical evidence of significant cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, hematological, neurological, psychiatric or other disease that may interfere with the objectives of the study and/or pose safety concerns
