The goal of this study is to determine if Visceral Manipulation (VM) is effective in treating Functional Dyspepsia in addition to drug therapy.
Null hypothesis is that VM does not influence FD symptoms.
50 patients with Functional Dyspepsia (FD) diagnosed by General Practitioners are randomized in two therapy group: 1) drug only group and 2) drug + Visceral Manipulation group. Group 1 receive drug therapy for 4 weeks, Group 2 receive drug therapy for 4 weeks and 4 Visceral Manipulation visits with weekly frequency (visit 1 at day 1 of drug therapy). FD symptoms are recorded with VAS at baseline and after 1 and 4 weeks of therapy, and after 8 weeks (4 weeks after the finish of all therapies).
