Many outpatients with functional dyspepsia (FD) do not follow the medication schedule recommendations, which can lead to illness relapse.
To investigate whether short message service (SMS) reminders improve medication regimen adherence and therapeutic efficacy in outpatients with FD.
Participants with FD were randomly allocated to the control group or intervention group. Patients in the control group received a 4-week medication treatment with no reminders, those in the intervention group received medication treatment plus a daily SMS reminder of dose and medication time.
Newly diagnosed FD patients from April 2019 to June 2019 were recruited from the GI outpatient clinics at Renji Hospital.
The scores for FD symptoms (LDQ) and psychological conditions (PHQ-9 for depression and GAD-7 for anxiety) were assessed before and after the treatment. The medication possession ratio (MPR) was calculated.
A total of 352 eligible patients was enrolled in the study. The overall compliance rates of patients in the intervention and control groups were 87.5% and 80.7% in the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis (P = 0.08) and 94.48% and 86.59% in per-protocol (PP) analysis (P = 0.015), respectively. In the intervention group, the compliance rate of younger patients (age ≤ 40 years) was significantly higher than that of age-matched patients in the control group (ITT: 86.1% vs. 70.5%, P = 0.018). Compared with the control group, the reduction in scores of LDQ (9.33 vs. 8.02, P = 0.017), PHQ-9 (6.97 vs. 5.69, P = 0.004), and GAD-7 (8.70 vs.7.53, P = 0.028) was significantly greater in patients receiving SMS reminders. The MPR of patients positively correlated with the reduction in scores of LDQ, PHQ-9, and GAD-7 in both groups.
SMS reminders can improve treatment compliance and efficacy in patients with FD.

许多功能性消化不良（FD）门诊患者不遵循药物治疗方案建议，这可能导致疾病复发。
研究短信提醒是否能提高FD门诊患者的药物治疗方案依从性和治疗效果。
将FD患者随机分为对照组或干预组。对照组患者接受为期4周的药物治疗，无提醒；干预组患者接受药物治疗并每日收到关于剂量和用药时间的短信提醒。
2019年4月至2019年6月新诊断的FD患者从仁济医院胃肠门诊招募。
在治疗前后评估FD症状评分（LDQ）和心理状况（抑郁用PHQ - 9，焦虑用GAD - 7）。计算药物持有率（MPR）。
共有352名符合条件的患者纳入研究。在意向性分析（ITT）中，干预组和对照组患者的总体依从率分别为87.5%和80.7%（P = 0.08），在符合方案分析（PP）中分别为94.48%和86.59%（P = 0.015）。在干预组中，年轻患者（年龄≤40岁）的依从率显著高于对照组中年龄匹配的患者（ITT：86.1%对70.5%，P = 0.018）。与对照组相比，接受短信提醒的患者LDQ评分降低幅度更大（9.33对8.02，P = 0.017），PHQ - 9评分降低幅度更大（6.97对5.69，P = 0.004），GAD - 7评分降低幅度更大（8.70对7.53，P = 0.028）。两组患者的MPR与LDQ、PHQ - 9和GAD - 7评分降低呈正相关。
短信提醒可提高FD患者的治疗依从性和疗效。
