Recently

diagnostic classification of functional dyspepsia（ FD） in modern medicine has changed greatly. At present

the international general diagnostic criteria

Rome Ⅲ

is mostly adopted. According to description of related diseases and symptoms

FD is categorized into"stomachache"and"distention and fullness"in Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine holds that

syndromes of spleen deficiency and Qi stagnation

incoordination between liver and stomach

as well as deficiency of spleen and stomach are main syndromes of FD. About Chinese medicine treatment

the authors propose that

syndrome differentiation should be made base on the patient’ s whole status.Aiming at the clinical characteristics

the main syndrome is analyzed and the syndrome determined

so that the foundation for compound herbs intervention and the multi-target and multi-link effect advantages would be laid.
