- Conditions
- Functional Dyspepsia
- Registration Number
- NCT07020416
- Lead Sponsor
- MetroHealth Medical Center
- Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to assess how effective the AutoSTEA device is in treating functional dyspepsia (upper abdominal discomfort) in adults. It will also assess the safety and usability of the device. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does the AutoSTEA device ease dyspepsia symptoms?
* Is the AutoSTEA device safe and feasible for patients to use at their home?
Participants will:
* Use the device for half an hour every day for two weeks
* Have a phone check-in halfway through the trial
* Answer the daily and weekly questionnaires which consist of questions regarding symptoms, device usability, and adverse events experienced.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Determine the device safety when self-administered at home by patients From enrollment to the end of treatment in two weeks Assess any adverse effects the device may have when used by patients in their home. This will be done using the device safety questionnaire. The safety questionnaire is to filled out weekly, with any adverse event that is experienced being reported. These adverse events (if applicable) will be rated in severity on a 0-5 scale, with 0 being the least severe and 5 being the most severe.
Evaluate device usability From enrollment to the end of treatment in two weeks Assess how easy the device is for patients to use in their home. This will be done using the usability questionnaire. This questionnaire will be filled out daily and the user will rate on a 0-5 scale (with 0 being the worst and 5 being the best) how easy and comfortable the device was for them.
Assess symptom responses to treatment From enrollment to the end of treatment in two weeks Assess how well a patient's dyspepsia symptoms respond to the treatment. This will be done via two questionnaires. One will be filled out weekly, where patients describe how much their dyspepsia symptoms have affected their daily lives. The scale for this will be 0-4, with 0 being no effect on their daily life and 5 being extreme effect on their daily lives. The second questionnaire will be filled out daily, and it describes the physical dyspepsia symptoms experienced by the patient in the last 24 hours. It is done on a scale from 0-10, with 0 meaning they have not experienced a symptom at all, and 10 being they have severely experienced a symptom.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Assess a diverse participant pool, especially overweight/obese female patients From enrollment to the end of treatment in two weeks Assess the response that patients have with a focus on those who are overweight/obese and female. This will be analyzed via the two dyspepsia symptom questionnaires that are mentioned in outcome 3.
Assess patient's compliance to AutoSTEA treatment From enrollment to the end of treatment in two weeks Assess if patients followed through with the required usage of the device and treatment. This will be done via their own self-reporting to study staff of if they missed any treatment days.
