AIM:To evaluate the effect of prokinetic drugs on electrogastrography (EGG) parameters according to symptomatic changes in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD).METHODS:Seventy-four patients with FD were prospectively enrolled in this study between December 2006 and December 2010.We surveyed the patients using a questionnaire on dyspeptic symptoms before and after an 8-wk course of prokinetic drug treatment.We also measured cutaneous pre-prandial and postprandial EGG recordings including percentage of gastric waves (normogastria,bradygastria,tachygastria),dominant frequency (DF),dominant power (DP),dominant frequency instability coefficient (DFIC),dominant power instability coefficient (DPIC),and the ratio of post-prandial to fasting in DP before and after the 8-wk course of prokinetic drug treatment.RESULTS:Fifty-two patients (70%) achieved symptomatic improvement after prokinetic drug treatment.Patients who had normal gastric slow waves showed symptom improvement group after treatment.Postprandial DF showed a downward trend in the symptom improvement group,especially in the itopride group.Post-prandial DP was increased regardless of symptom improvement,especially in the itopride group and mosapride group.Post-prandial DFIC and DPIC in the symptom improvement group were significantly increased after the treatment.The EGG power ratio was increased after treatment in the symptom improvement group (0.50 ± 0.70 vs 0.93 ± 1.77,P =0.002),especially in the itopride and levosulpiride groups.CONCLUSION:Prokinetics could improve the symptoms of FD by regulating gastric myoelectrical activity,and EGG could be a useful tool in evaluating the effects of various prokinetics.
