Abstract
AIM: It is difficult to treat non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD), which is a common disease in clinic, since its pathogenesis is unclear so far. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether NUD patients had impaired gastric emptying.
METHODS: Sixty-four patients with NUD were studied premeditatedly by the method of radiopaque markers and treated with domperidone.
RESULTS: 59.4% of NUD patients had impaired gastric emptying and domperidone could relieve symptoms in the NUD patients.
Keywords: Non-ulcer dyspepsia, Gastric emptying, Domperidone
