Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this study is to assess how effective the AutoSTEA device is in treating functional dyspepsia (upper abdominal discomfort) in adults. It will also assess the safety and usability of the device. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the AutoSTEA device ease dyspepsia symptoms?
* Is the AutoSTEA device safe and feasible for patients to use at their home?

Participants will:

* Use the device for half an hour every day for two weeks
* Have a phone check-in halfway through the trial
* Answer the daily and weekly questionnaires which consist of questions regarding symptoms, device usability, and adverse events experienced.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Adult patients with functional dyspepsia

The treatment this arm will be administered is the AutoSTEA treatment, which consists of a band-like device that wraps around the rib cage. This device is connected to a microstimulator which is then connected to TENS pads. The band allows for the electrical impulses given to be synchronized with one's breathing.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Transcutaneous electrical acustimulation in automatic synchronization with breathing

Intervention Type DEVICE

This intervention will be carried out via the AutoSTEA device.
