Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Once a diagnosis of nonulcer dyspepsia is confirmed by normal endoscopy, a trial of therapy is commonly prescribed. However, the benefits of all therapies in this condition have been questioned. Small studies have suggested benefit in use of antidepressants such as Nortriptyline and even though the data is insufficient, antidepressants such as Nortriptyline are widely used in clinical practice largely due to lack of proven, reliable therapies for nonulcer dyspepsia.
Our hypothesis is that Nortriptyline will improve symptoms of nonulcer dyspepsia and improve quality of life.
