NCT ID NCT06696261

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether Lianxiaxiaopi Granules, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, can relieve symptoms of postprandial distress syndrome (stomach discomfort, fullness, or early fullness after meals). 342 adults aged 18-65 will take the granules or a placebo three times daily for 8 weeks. The study measures how many weeks symptoms improve by at least half compared to baseline.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ€” not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Lianxiaxiaopi Granules (herbal granules)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new herbal treatment option for people with postprandial distress syndrome, reducing discomfort after meals.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but the intervention is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine concepts (cold/heat imbalance) which may not be accepted by all. The placebo response in digestive disorders can be high, so the real benefit may be modest.
