Lansoprazole for Subgroups of Functional Dyspepsia

Summary

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.
