What this Trial Is About
Functional dyspepsia FD is a long-lasting disorder affecting the connection between the gut and brain, causing uncomfortable upper stomach symptoms. It is classified into postprandial distress syndrome PDS and epigastric pain syndrome EPS, often overlapping. FD is common worldwide, significantly impacting quality of life and creating economic challenges. Sleep problems, anxiety, and depression frequently occur alongside FD and relate to symptom severity and recurrence. Current treatments like prokinetic agents and acid-suppressive therapy may have limited effects and side effects. This research studies auricular acupoint stimulation to evaluate its safety and effectiveness in FD patients with sleep disorders, also exploring brain function and autonomic and gut-related mechanisms.
