ABSTRACT

Biorhythm such as sleep-wake, resting-activity, dietary intake, hormone secretion, temperature and blood pressure fluctuation affect the pathophysiological process of digestive system. Disturbances of biorhythm, especially circadian rhythm, are associated with the development, progress and outcome of digestive system diseases. Reconstructing normal biorhythm is of great significance for the maintaining of health of digestive system. However, there is lack of consensus on the management of clinical issues related to digestive system diseases and biorhythm disorders. The Chinese Digestive Psychosomatic Union organized experts to form a consensus on clinical management of digestive system diseases associated with biorhythm disorders on the basis of systemic review of research progress and clinical experience. The consensus opinion contains 21 statements. Each statement with evidence-based medicine grade and interpretations were reported.
