Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Assessment of meal induced gastric accommodation by a satiety drinking test in health and in severe functional dyspepsia.
Impaired gastric accommodation is a major pathophysiological mechanism in functional dyspepsia. The aim of the present work was to assess a satiety drinking test in the evaluation of accommodation in health and dyspepsia. ⋯ A slow caloric drinking test can be used to evaluate accommodation and early satiety. It provides a non-invasive method of predicting impaired accommodation and quantifying pharmacological influences on accommodation.
