Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by epigastric pain and symptoms related to meal consumption. According to recent diagnostic criteria, FD can be classified as epigastric pain syndrome (EPS) or postprandial discomfort syndrome (PDS), based on the predominant symptoms. The pathophysiology of FD can be influenced by various factors, including microinflammation, gastrointestinal infections, abnormal gastroduodenal motility, visceral hypersensitivity, disturbances in the brain-gut axis, and psychological factors. As a result, its management requires a comprehensive approach that includes both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions such as psychological therapies and adjunctive treatments. However, despite the availability of various treatment options, no contemporary pharmacological agents have been approved specifically for FD. In this context, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has emerged as a promising alternative that offers notable efficacy and safety in managing FD. Various TCM modalities, including herbal prescriptions, acupuncture, moxibustion, and music therapy have demonstrated therapeutic potential. In this article, we discuss the pathophysiology of FD from a modern medical perspective and describe integrative treatment strategies based on TCM, highlighting the potential benefits of combining the traditional and contemporary approaches.
功能性消化不良(FD)是一种常见的功能性胃肠疾病,其特征为上腹部疼痛以及与进餐相关的症状。根据最新的诊断标准,FD可根据主要症状分为上腹部疼痛综合征(EPS)或餐后不适综合征(PDS)。FD的病理生理学可受多种因素影响,包括微炎症、胃肠道感染、胃十二指肠运动异常、内脏高敏感性、脑-肠轴紊乱以及心理因素。因此,其治疗需要综合方法,包括药物和非药物干预,如心理治疗和辅助治疗。然而,尽管有多种治疗选择,但目前尚无专门批准用于FD的现代药物。在此背景下,中医药(TCM)已成为一种有前景的替代方法,在治疗FD方面具有显著的疗效和安全性。各种中医疗法,包括草药方剂、针灸、艾灸和音乐疗法,都已显示出治疗潜力。在本文中,我们从现代医学角度讨论FD的病理生理学,并描述基于中医的综合治疗策略,强调将传统与现代方法相结合的潜在益处。
