Correction of Dyssynergic Defecation, but Not Fiber Supplementation, Reduces Symptoms of Functional Dyspepsia in Patients With Constipation in a Randomized Trial

Abstract

Diagnosis and correction of dyssynergic defecation reduces dyspeptic symptoms by more than 20% in patients with functional dyspepsia and associated constipation. Dietary fiber supplementation does not reduce symptoms in these patients. ClinicalTrials.gov no: NCT02956187.
