Functional visceral problems are frequently present nowadays in the medical practice probably due to the significant mental and emotional load on people. Although physicians and psychophysiologists are active on the field, still we are far from a complete knowledge, despite the fact that scientists like the Hungarian Professor György Ádám already had initiated a new approach called visceral psychophysiology already a long time ago. In this article, we commemorate Professor Ádám by analyzing one of the most frequent functional disorders, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), calling psychophysiology for help. First, we try to give a definition, then show the general descriptions and characteristics of IBS. Factors like stress, gender, and gastrointestinal pain are followed by the potential role of the immune system and the neuronal factors as well as the supposed brain mechanisms. We hope that this overview of the IBS-history would show how significant scientists can be decisive in certain fields of the science and practice.
如今，功能性内脏问题在医学实践中经常出现，这可能是由于人们承受着巨大的精神和情绪压力。尽管医生和心理生理学家在这一领域很活跃，但尽管像匈牙利教授 György Ádám 这样的科学家很久以前就已经提出了一种叫做内脏心理生理学的新方法，但我们仍然远未完全了解这一问题。在本文中，我们通过分析最常见的功能性疾病之一——肠易激综合征 (IBS)，并求助于心理生理学，来纪念 Ádám 教授。首先，我们试图给出一个定义，然后展示 IBS 的一般描述和特征。接着是压力、性别和胃肠道疼痛等因素，然后是免疫系统和神经元因素以及假设的大脑机制的潜在作用。我们希望通过对 IBS 历史的概述，展示出科学家在科学和实践的某些领域可以起到多么重要的决定性作用。
