Research Progress on Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in the Treatment of Functional Dyspepsia
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Functional dyspepsia (FD) is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders in clinical practice. It is characterized by chronic and recurrent upper abdominal pain or discomfort, with clinical symptoms including epigastric pain, epigastric burning, early satiety, and postprandial fullness. Currently, there is no specific medication for FD. Western medicine primarily employs acid suppression, gastric mucosal protection, promotion of gastrointestinal motility, and eradication of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) as main treatment approaches. In recent years, integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy has demonstrated advantages in the clinical management of this condition and achieved favorable outcomes. Therefore, this article provides an overview of the treatment methods for functional dyspepsia from both traditional Chinese and Western medical perspectives, aiming to offer theoretical support for clinical management of FD.
