Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in the Overall Severity of Functional Dyspepsia Between Baseline and Week 8, as Measured by the LDQ Severity Score

Change in the overall severity of functional dyspepsia between baseline and week 8, as measured by the Leeds Dyspepsia Questionnaire (LDQ) severity score consisting of 15 questions, where questions 1-8 are used to measure the severity, on a scale of 0 to 5 (0= absence, 1= very mild, 5=very severe). End Result: Maximum severity score is 40, symptom free=0, very mild =1-4, mild=5-8, moderate=9-15, severe is 16-40

Time frame: 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Change in the Overall Severity of Functional Dyspepsia Between Baseline and Week 4, as Measured by the LDQ Severity Score

Change in the overall severity of functional dyspepsia between baseline and week 4, as measured by the Leeds Dyspepsia Questionnaire (LDQ) severity score. Change in the overall severity of functional dyspepsia between baseline and week 8, as measured by the Leeds Dyspepsia Questionnaire (LDQ) severity score consisting of 15 questions, where questions 1-8 are used to measure the severity, on a scale of 0 to 5 (0= absence, 1= very mild, 5=very severe). End Result: Maximum severity score is 40, symptom free=0, very mild =1-4, mild=5-8, moderate=9-15, severe is 16-40.

Time frame: 4 weeks

Disease Specific Quality of Life (Nepean Dyspepsia Index NDI) Assessed at Baseline and Week 8 in Terms of Change in % of Functional Ability.

To assess quality of life for the two treatment arms using Disease Specific Quality of Life (Short Form - Nepean Dyspepsia Index SF-NDI) at baseline and end of treatment. The SF-NDI measures dyspepsia's impact on quality of life, with scores ranging from 10-50 (higher = worse). It includes five subscales-tension/anxiety, daily activities, eating/drinking, knowledge/control, and work/study-each with two questions rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = not at all, 5 = extremely). Step-1: sum of scores, step-2: converted to %disability, Step-3: convert to %functional ability (100-%disability). Higher score represents higher Quality of Life and lower scores lower Quality of Life.
