First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study compares two drugs, acotiamide and itopride, to see which one better relieves symptoms like fullness, bloating, and early fullness after meals in people with postprandial distress syndrome. The trial will include 152 adults aged 18-70 who have been diagnosed using standard criteria. Participants will take one of the two drugs for 8 weeks, and their symptoms will be tracked using a special scale.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show which drug works better for relieving fullness, bloating, and early fullness after meals in people with functional dyspepsia.
