Heliobacter pylori and non-ulcer dyspepsia

Opinion statement  

–	There is no definitive therapy for this disorder.
–	Heliobacter pylori eradication therapy is only useful in areas with a high prevalence of H. pylori-related ulcer disease
–	Proton pump inhibitors are effective in short-term treatment for dyspepsia with a predominant symptom of epigastric pain
–	Prokinetic agents may be useful in some patients, particularly those with dysmotility-like dyspepsia, but serious side effects limit their usefulness.
