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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in abdominal pain scores

Time Frame: 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 Outcomes

  • Change in nausea/vomiting(Baseline, 8 weeks)
  • Change in bloating(Baseline, 8 weeks)
  • Change in post-prandial fullness(Baseline, 8 weeks)
  • Overall PAGI-SYM scores(Baseline, 8 weeks)
  • Change in heartburn(Baseline, 8 weeks)
