Karamanolis, George P.Tack, JanFunctional dyspepsia (FD) is a highly prevalent disease characterized by symptoms originating from the gastroduodenal region in the absence of underlying organic disease. The Rome III consensus made a distinction between meal-induced and meal-unrelated symptoms and proposed subdivision of FD into postprandial distress syndrome and epigastric pain syndrome.The applicability of this subdivision and the impact on management are areas of active research. So far, empirical approaches are still employed for the treatment of FD, although various therapeutic modalities for FD have been explored; acid-suppressive, prokinetic, and fundic relaxant drugs, antidepressants and psychological therapies. FD remains a challenge and presents unmet clinical needs.Keywords functional dyspepsia, Rome III, treatmentAnn Gastroenterol 2012; 25 (2): 96-99text/htmlapplication/pdfhttp://www.annalsgastro.gr/index.php/annalsgastro/article/view/1110engHellenic Society of Gastroenterology1792-74631108-7471Annals of Gastroenterology; Volume 25, No 2 (2012); 96Current management of functional dyspepsia: impact of Rome III subdivisioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion2012-04-11Δημοσίευση σε περιοδικόPublication in journalΓαστροεντερολογίαGastroenterologyisi -Gastroenterology & Hepatology covers resources on the anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pathology of the digestive system.
