Non-ulcer dyspepsia.
This paper discusses the definition of non-ulcer dyspepsia and its relationship to other functional bowel disorders. The research on the prevalence, outcome, aetiology and management of this condition is reviewed with particular emphasis on its multifactorial nature. Future research will need to concentrate on the inter-relationship of physical and psychosocial factors including the health beliefs of the individual patient.
