[Clinical study on effect of hewei capsule on promoting gastric dynamics].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of Hewei capsule (HWC) on gastric dynamics.


METHODS
Sixty-two patients with dysmotility-like functional dyspepsia (DFD) were included in the study. The principal symptoms, electrogastrogram (EGG), plasma motilin (MTL), serum gastrin (Gas) and nitric oxide (NO) of the patients were the chief parameters observed before and after treatment.


RESULTS
There were arrhythmia of EGG, deficiency of MTL, Gas and NO in the patients with DFD, and these abnormal changes could be improved significantly by treating with HWC.


CONCLUSIONS
The abnormal gastric dynamics of the patients with DFD could be improved by HWC through multiple pathways.
