Nowadays, there is a high prevalence of functional gastrointestinal disturbances, which determine the problem relevance. Despite the good prognosis, the life quality of people suffering from this pathology significantly reduces. Functional dyspepsia (PD) prevalence worldwide is on average 20–30%, its incidence — about 1% per year. According to epidemiological studies, the number of disability days per year in patients with PD is 2–3 weeks more than those with a different pathology, which emphasizes the social significance and insufficient treatment effectiveness. Frequent visits to the doctor, multiple and often unjustified costly examinations, and ineffective treatment lead to economic losses. The article covers issues about etiology, risk factors, trend characteristics, diagnostic criteria, and treatment principles. It also discusses the syndrome of the digestive system’s most common functi onal diseases, the central nervous system role, psychosocial factors in the disease development in this group, and effective regimens.

Keywords: functional gastrointestinal disturbances, crossed syndrome, treatment, anxiolytics, aminophenyl-butyric acid.
