[Analysis of Animal Modeling Methods for Functional Dyspepsia].

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common disease in clinics. It is necessary to establish suitable animal models for clarifying the pathogenesis of FD. FD belongs to "Piman" (abdominal disten- sion) , "Weiwantong" (epigastric pain) , "Caoza" (epigastric upset) in Chinese medicine (CM). It is inor- ganic disease but functional disease. There is no unified standard for FD animal models. Pi deficiency syndrome model is often used as FD animal model now, but they are not completely the same thing. Au- thors summarized and analyzed common methods for FD modeling.
