ABSTRACT

ObjectivesFunctional dyspepsia is a type of disease characterized by bothersome post-prandial fullness, early satiation, epigastric pain and burning without structural gastro-intestinal disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in symptoms, quality of life, HRV (Heart Rate Variability) before and after abdominal manipulation therapy in func-tional dyspepsia patients.MethodsWe recruited twenty functional dyspepsia patients from the volunteers who ap-plied for this clinical trial. State of Patients were assessed by NDI-K (Nepean Dyspepsia Index Korean Version), HRV (Heart Rate Variability) before treatment. After 4 times of ab-dominal manipulation therapy for 2 weeks, state of patients were assessed by the same methods.ResultsTotal symptom score and total quality of life score of NDI-K were significantly im-proved by the abdominal manipulation therapy. After the treatment, the number of subjects within normal range of LF/HF ratio was significantly increased. Although the median of LF/HF ratio did not significantly changed, interquartile range was reduced.ConclusionsAbdominal manipulation therapy possibly can be an effective treatment for functional dyspepsia patients, but further studies are needed to demonstrate the effective-ness of abdominal manipulation therapy for functional dyspepsia patients.
