- Abstract
Gastroparesis is a pathology associating upper digestive symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting, with impaired gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical gastric or duodenal obstruction. It has a major impact on patients' quality of life, can lead to undernutrition, and -increases overall mortality. Several schools of thought converge on the hypothesis of a clinico--pathological spectrum of gastric neuro-muscular dysfunction encompassing gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia, in particular the subtype known as "postprandial distress syndrome". Its management includes non--pharmacological interventions, such as hygienic--dietary measures, pharmacological interventions using prokinetic, antiemetic or neuromodulatory treatments, and endoscopic interventions., Competing Interests: Les auteurs n’ont déclaré aucun conflit d’intérêts en relation avec cet article.
