Background Migraine is a condition frequently associated with gastrointestinal disorders. Previous reports have shown the relationship between irritable bowel syndrome and migraine, but no data are yet available in patients with functional dyspepsia. We therefore evaluated whether alteration of gastric sensorimotor activity may be related to migraine. Methods Sixty patients affected by functional dyspepsia, 38 with postprandial distress syndrome and 22 with epigastric pain syndrome were enrolled in a cohort study. Presence and severity of dyspeptic symptoms, migraine presence and severity, gastric sensitivity thresholds during fasting and postprandial period, gastric accommodation and gastric emptying time were evaluated. Results In epigastric pain syndrome, 12/22 (54%) patients suffered from migraine and this condition was never correlated with meal ingestion. In postprandial distress syndrome patients, 29/38 (76%) suffered from migraine, in 26/29 (89%) its onset was considered as meal-related, and migraine severity was significantly correlated with postprandial modification of the gastric discomfort threshold (r = −0.73; p < 0.001). In patients with postprandial distress syndrome, in the subgroup with moderate to severe migraine, the severity of fullness and early satiation was significantly higher than in patients with mild or absent migraine. In patients with moderate to severe migraine, gastric accommodation, sensitivity thresholds and gastric emptying time were similar to patients with mild or no migraine. Conclusions In patients with functional dyspepsia and postprandial symptoms, migraine is a very frequent comorbidity. On clinical grounds, it is associated with an increased severity of fullness and early satiation and, on pathophysiological grounds, it seems correlated with postprandial hypersensitivity.

Background. Functional dyspepsia is the prototype functional gastrointestinal disorder. This study was designed to determine its prevalence, subtypes, and risk factors associated with the subtypes.Method. Patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms who presented for endoscopy were administered a questionnaire containing the functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome modules of the Rome III diagnostic criteria.Results. Of 192 patients who had functional dyspepsia, epigastric pain syndrome, postprandial distress syndrome, and combination of the two subtypes accounted for 79.2%, 62.5%, and 50%, respectively. Multivariate analysis of the risk factors showed that independent predictors of postprandial distress syndrome were alcohol and irritable bowel syndrome while irritable bowel syndrome was independent predictor of epigastric pain syndrome. Alcohol, smoking, and use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were independent predictors of cooccurrence of postprandial distress syndrome and epigastric pain syndrome.Conclusion. Functional dyspepsia accounts for 62.5% of dyspepsia in a population of black African patients. Regarding symptomatology, epigastric pain syndrome, postprandial distress syndrome, and combination of the two subtypes account for 79.2%, 62.5%, and 50%, respectively. Risk factors for functional dyspepsia are irritable bowel syndrome, alcohol, smoking, and use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

A review of current data suggests that the attention to the problem of dyspepsia is huge. The definition of functional dyspepsia was given in the Rome IV criteria, according to which two of its main options are distinguished – epigastric pain syndrome and postprandial distress syndrome. The term “uninvestigated dyspepsia” is important, which means the presence of dyspepsia symptoms in patients who have not performed diagnostic procedures to identify the organic causes of the pathology. The prevalence of uninvestigated dyspepsia in the world is about 21%. The prevalence of functional dyspepsia is significantly lower than the prevalence of uninvestigated dyspepsia and fluctuates around 10%. The risk factors for dyspepsia are usually tobacco smoking, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and/or aspirin, and Helicobacter pylori infection. The concept of the pathogenesis of functional dyspepsia undergoes significant changes. By analogy with the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome, lesions of the relationship between the modulation of the cerebral cortex and the signal system of the gastroduodenal zone, the association of sluggish immune inflammation in the duodenum with motility and sensory activity of the stomach are most actively studied. The treatment of functional dyspepsia is a complex problem and changes after new ideas about its pathogenesis. Modern meta-analyzes have made it possible to expand the indications for the proton pump inhibitors administration, which can be actively used not only for the treatment of epigastric pain syndrome, but also for postprandial distress syndrome. Along with the required Helicobacter pylori eradication, there are reasons for the use of probiotics and antibiotics for the dyspepsia treatment.

Objective of the study: to clarify the influence of external factors on the symptoms of functional dyspepsia in medical students.Materials and methods: A survey of 105 students aged 20.2 ± 0.18 years was conducted. The survey was conducted on a special gastroenterological questionnaire GSRS. Also in the questionnaire we added questions that characterize postprandial distress syndrome. An additional questionnaire was conducted on issues that allow us to assess the influence of external factors on the functional dyspepsia of students (nutrition, bad habits, constitutional features).Results: During the study revealed: the intensity of manifestations of functional dyspepsia from 1 to 6 courses is reduced. Bad habits like smoking, eating at bedtime, using chewing gum, eating with alcohol have a negative effect on the digestive system, which can be a risk factor for developing functional dyspepsia. A correlation was also found between clinical syndromes: epigastric pain syndrome and reflux syndrome (r = 0.4), diarrhea syndrome (0.37), dyspeptic syndrome (0.5), constipation syndrome (0.37); postprandial distress syndrome and reflux syndrome (0.42), diarrhea syndrome (0.39), dyspeptic syndrome (0.83), constipation syndrome (0.39).Conclusions: The intensity of most manifestations of functional dyspepsia during the transition to older courses decreases, however, 4-year students are more susceptible to postprandial distress syndrome, which can be associated with adverse factors such as smoking, eating food at bedtime, using chewing gum, eating with alcohol.
