BACKGROUND
Dyspepsia is a major problem in the community with considerable morbidity.


RESULTS
Appropriate therapy improves the quality of life of such patients and emphasizes the important role of diagnosis and management. The role of Helicobacter pylori is still to be defined, as does measurement of dysmotility. The management of reflux-like dyspepsia, in particular, assumes increasing importance in terms of cost-benefit.
