Therapeutic Response to Lansoprazole Among Different Subgroups of Functional Dyspepsia: a Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial
Abstract
Pharmacotherapy for functional dyspepsia remains unsatisfactory. Previous randomized trials reported conflicting results on clinical effectiveness of proton pump inhibitor in patients with functional dyspepsia. This study aims to examine whether lansoprazole 15mg is more effective than placebo for functional dyspepsia in Taiwanese patients, and to investigate the association between subgroups of patients and therapeutic response.
Conditions: Functional Dyspepsia.
Primary outcome: complete relief of dyspeptic symptoms.
Enrollment: 30 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 30 participants or records.
