RESUMEN
La sensibilidad visceral es una respuesta fisiológica normal de las estructuras huecas del tracto alimentario y su alteración (híper o hiposensibilidad) se ha involucrado en la génesis de la mayoría de los trastornos funcionales y su corrección o modulación fundamentan la mayoría de los esfuerzos actuales farmacológicos que buscan la supresión o alivio de síntomas asociados a estas alteraciones. La dispepsia funcional es un trastorno mal entendido fisiopatológicamente, lleno aún de equívocos diagnósticos y sujeto permanente de cambios en su definición, clasificación y enfoque terapéutico.Dada la prevalencia de la entidad parece útil revisar la conceptualización actual de la dispepsia y el papel de la sensibilidad visceral, como el elemento disparador fisiológico de la motilidad, en su fisiopatología.
ABSTRACT
Visceral sensitivity is a normal physiological response of digestive tract hollow structures. Hypersensitivity and hypo sensitivity have been involved in the genesis of most functional disorders. Currently correction or modulation is usually based on pharmacological efforts which seek to eliminate or alleviate symptoms associated with these disorders. Functional dyspepsia is a poorly understood physiopathological disorder still associated with diagnostic misunderstandings and permanently changing definition, classification and therapeutic approaches. Given the prevalence of this entity it seems useful to review the current conceptualization of dyspepsia and the role of visceral sensitivity as the physiological timer of motility in its physiopathology.
