Adults 18 to 65, any sex, with Functional Dyspepsia. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.

Sponsor's own description

Patients with dyspeptic symptoms vary from 10% to 20% globally. Up to 70% of patients with dyspepsia who undergo endoscopy have unremarkable examination and are diagnosed with functional dyspepsia (FD). Given the lack of information related to its pathophysiology, the treatment is largely empirical and of limited efficacy. Previous small study showed therapeutic potential of transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) for FD. This study aims to investigate whether taVNS can improve the dyspeptic symptoms of patients with FD.
