Researchers find acupuncture more effective than the drug mosapride for the treatment of abdominal pain and discomfort due to indigestion. This is significant in that mosapride has been proven effective for the relief of digestion related disorders, including GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), gastritis, and functional dyspepsia. Specifically, acupuncture outperformed mosapride for the treatment of functional dyspepsia (abdominal discomfort or pain with no known organic cause identifiable with endoscopy). The results were confirmed by electrogastrogram and other instruments.
Researchers find an ancient acupuncture point combination more effective than mosapride for the treatment of functional dyspepsia. The combination of Gongsun (SP4) and Neiguan (PC6) produces significant improvements for patients with functional dyspepsia without producing adverse effects. The data was published in the report entitled Observations on the Efficacy of Electroacupuncture at Points Gongsun and Neiguan in Treating Functional Dyspepsia.
