“…Abstract: Disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) are characterized by alterations in both central and peripheral gut-brain axis (GBA)-related stimuli, and include esophageal, gastroduodenal, intestinal and anorectal disorders. Despite the fact that several pathophysiologic mechanisms are involved, the mainstay of treatment is neuromodulators, a heterogeneous group of drugs that act on pathways related to central and peripheral pain processing. …”
