Thirty-six FD patients in each group will be randomly selected for the fMRI scan to detect cerebral activity changes. The heart rate variability will be analyzed to investigate the autonomic nerve function.
The short form Leeds Dyspepsia Questionnaire, the Nepean Dyspepsia Index, etc., are used to evaluate the therapeutic effects. Twenty sessions of acupuncture or moxibustion treatment over 4 weeks will be performed on each patient.
Ninety-two FD patients will be randomly assigned to either the acupuncture group or the moxibustion group in a 1:1 ratio.
SDS DROP ANALOG RYTM MKII TRIAL
This randomized controlled fMRI trial aims to (i) evaluate the therapeutic advantages of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for FD, (ii) investigate the similarities and differences in cerebral activity elicited by acupuncture and moxibustion, and (iii) analyze the possible correlations between brain responses and clinical variables thus to explore the potential central mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion for treating FD. However, the therapeutic advantage and underlying mechanism between acupuncture and moxibustion for FD remain unclear. Either acupuncture or moxibustion is effective for dyspepsia, which is confirmed by both ancient documents and modern research.
