| Core Tip |
Although the currently available drugs for functional dyspepsia (FD) can, to some extent, improve the symptoms, they are still ineffective or have severe adverse reactions in some patients. The present study evaluated the clinical efficacy and safety of Biling Weitong Granules in treating epigastric pain syndrome in FD patients. Compared with placebo, Biling Weitong Granules markedly relieved the epigastric pain syndrome symptoms and significantly improved the total FD clinical score based on symptoms including postprandial fullness and discomfort, early satiety, epigastric pain, epigastric burning, belching, and pharyngeal obstruction, decreased appetite, fatigue, limb weakness, and irritability, thus, it improved the quality of life without causing serious adverse reactions. |
