Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in abdominal pain scores [Baseline, 8 weeks]

    Measured by the Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) questionnaire individual scores for abdominal pain. Scored 0-5, with higher scores representing more severe symptoms.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Overall PAGI-SYM scores [Baseline, 8 weeks]

    Measured by the Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) questionnaire. All symptoms scored 0-5, with higher scores representing more severe symptoms. A total PAGI-SYM score is determined by calculating the average of all symptom scores

  2. Change in nausea/vomiting [Baseline, 8 weeks]

    Measured by the Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) questionnaire individual scores for nausea/vomiting. Scored 0-5, with higher scores representing more severe symptoms.

  3. Change in bloating [Baseline, 8 weeks]

    Measured by the Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) questionnaire individual scores for bloating. Scored 0-5, with higher scores representing more severe symptoms.

  4. Change in post-prandial fullness [Baseline, 8 weeks]

    Measured by the Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) questionnaire individual scores for early satiety/postprandial fullness. Scored 0-5, with higher scores representing more severe symptoms.

  5. Change in heartburn [Baseline, 8 weeks]

    Measured by the Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) questionnaire individual scores for heartburn. Scored 0-5, with higher scores representing more severe symptoms.

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years to 75 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion Criteria:
  • Symptoms of dyspepsia thought to represent functional dyspepsia, meeting Rome IV criteria

  • Had an upper endoscopy and assessment for Helicobacter pylori; if a patient is found to have H. pylori, treatment with confirmed eradication (by stool antigen test or urea breath test) will be required before the patient is eligible for study inclusion.

  • Patients will be considered for the study if they have undergone a complete history and physical examination during a previously scheduled consultation/evaluation visit with a gastroenterologist in the Mayo Clinic Florida General GI or Motility clinic.

Exclusion Criteria:
  • Symptoms are thought to represent an organic disorder (e.g., peptic ulcer disease, hepatitis, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, type I diabetes, a known malignancy, radiation-induced injury, an active infection, vasculitis, celiac disease), or patients have known uncontrolled GERD, esophagitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, or untreated H. pylori.

  • Patients with gastroparesis or cyclic vomiting syndrome.

  • Patients with prior surgery to the esophagus, stomach or duodenum.

  • Patients taking opioids.

  • Patients with motion sickness, vertigo, or a seizure disorder

  • IBS symptoms are not predominant.
