Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
GSRS total score improvement : GSRS score at baseline - GSRS score after 8 weeks of administration8 weeks

GSRS (Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale) total score improvement after 8 weeks of administration, compared to Baseline

GSRS is consisted of 15 upper and lower gastrointestinal symptoms, and each item is rated on a 7-point Likert scale, 0 = no symptoms, 7 = worst

Total score scale : 0\~105 (15x7), 0 = no symptoms, 105 = worst, decreased score is considered as improvement, increased score is considered as worsening

stomach pain (0\~7) heartburn (0\~7) acid reflux (0\~7) hunger pain (0\~7) nausea (0\~7) rumbling (0\~7) bloating (0\~7) burping (0\~7) flatus (0\~7) constipation (0\~7) diarrhea (0\~7) loose stools (0\~7) hard stools (0\~7) urgency (need to have a bowel movement) (0\~7) sensation of not completely emptying the bowels (0\~7)

15 individual symptoms of upper and lower abdominal discomfort after 8 weeks of administration, compared to Baseline

Changes in serum antioxidant and anti-inflammatory marker level8 weeks

Changes in serum antioxidant (8-OHdG, Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total antioxidant, hs-CRP level) after 8 weeks of administration, compared to baseline

GSRS improvement rate : (total GSRS score at baseline - total GSRS score after 8 weeks of administration) / GSRS score at baseline8 weeks

Total GSRS score improvement rate after 8 weeks of administration, compared to Baseline

Changes in dyepepsia-related quality of life8 weeks

Changes in dyepepsia-related quality of life using NDI (Nepean Dyspepsia Index) questionnaire after 8 weeks of administration, compared to baseline

NDI-K (Nepean Dyspepsia Index Korean) is consisted of 5 categories and 25 questions of gastrointestinal symptoms, with each question is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, 0 = worst, 5 = no symptoms

Total score scale : (sum of individual question score) x 100/125

0\~100, 0 = worst condition, 100 = no symptoms, decreased score is considered as worsening, increased score is considered as improvement

Interference daily activities/work (0\~30) Knowledge/control (0\~20) Eating/drinking (0\~15) Sleep disturbance (0\~45) Work/study (0\~15)
