Screening, day 1, day 8 ± 1, day 15 ± 1, day 22 ± 1, day 29 ± 1
Change in the total score of gastrointestinal symptom severity according to the GSRS questionnaire on days 8, 15, 22, and 29 compared to baseline
Time Frame: Day 8 ± 1, 15 ± 1, 22 ± 1, and 29 ± 1
The Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) is a self-administered questionnaire designed to assess gastrointestinal symptoms and their severity. It consists of 15 items categorized into five domains: Abdominal pain (including stomach pain and nausea), Reflux (heartburn and acid reflux), Indigestion (bloating, burping, and flatulence), Constipation (hard stools and incomplete evacuation), Diarrhea (loose stools and urgency). Respondents rate their symptoms on a 7-point Likert scale, where 1 indicates no discomfort and 7 indicates very severe discomfort.
Day 8 ± 1, 15 ± 1, 22 ± 1, and 29 ± 1
Response rate to therapy (proportion of patients in the group showing a reduction in pain/discomfort in the upper abdomen on the VAS by more than 30%) by day 29 compared to baseline
Time Frame: Day 29 ± 1
Visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 100 mm, where 0 is "no pain", and 100 is "the worst pain one can imagine"
Day 29 ± 1
Response rate to therapy (proportion of patients in the group showing a reduction in pain/discomfort in the upper abdomen on the VAS by 50% or more) by day 29 compared to baseline
Time Frame: Day 29 ± 1
Visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 100 mm, where 0 is "no pain", and 100 is "the worst pain one can imagine"
Day 29 ± 1
Change in manifestations of dyspeptic disorders according to the GSRS questionnaire scores on days 8, 15, 22, and 29 compared to baseline
Time Frame: Day 8 ± 1, 15 ± 1, 22 ± 1, and 29 ± 1

Day 8 ± 1, 15 ± 1, 22 ± 1, and 29 ± 1
Change in quality of life based on the total score from the SF-36 questionnaire by day 29 compared to baseline
Time Frame: Day 29 ± 1
SF-36 (Short Form 36 Health Survey) is a self-reported questionnaire. It consists of 36 items that cover eight health domains: Physical functioning, Role limitations due to physical health, Role limitations due to emotional problems, Bodily pain, General health perceptions, Vitality (energy and fatigue), Social functioning, Mental health. SF-36 produces a profile of scores for each domain, which can be summarized into two main components: the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS). Scores range from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicate greater disability and higher scores indicate better health.
Day 29 ± 1
Average reduction in pain/discomfort severity in the upper abdomen on the VAS by days 8, 15, and 22 compared to baseline
Time Frame: Day 8 ± 1, 15 ± 1, 22 ± 1, and 29 ± 1
Visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 100 mm, where 0 is "no pain", and 100 is "the worst pain one can imagine"
Day 8 ± 1, 15 ± 1, 22 ± 1, and 29 ± 1
