An interventional study of Functional brain MRI and A warm ham and cheese sandwich and a 200 ml fruit juice in Dyspepsia, sponsored by Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute. Completed at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-07-27.

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between brain activity and the perception of subjective hedonic sensations in response to a meal using functional MRI.
Functional MRI brain imaging will be performed in patients with functional dyspepsia and healthy controls in basal conditions and after a palatable test meal. During the study, the cognitive response and the hedonic dimension will be measured using 10 score scales.
363 studies on the registry are indexed under Dyspepsia; 51 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 80 is close to the median of 87 across 297 interventional studies indexed under Dyspepsia.
