Functional dyspeptic disorders are a group of conditions in which the patient’s symptoms are not determined by organic disease, but by

impaired organ function. The nomenclature and diagnostic criteria for functional dyspeptic disorders are defined in the Rome III criteria

from the year 2006. One of the most common forms of the disease is functional dyspepsia characterized by epigastric pain and/or postprandial

fullness and/or early satiation. Gastroduodenoscopy is the fundamental diagnostic method to rule out organic disease; other

methods of examination are complementary. According to the type of predominant symptoms, the treatment of functional dyspepsia

mainly involves antisecretory drugs, prokinetics, and psychopharmaceuticals. The treatment of functional dyspepsia is a long-term,

sequential, and empirical one.
