Abstract

Functional dyspepsia is an upper gastrointestinal disorder characterized by epigastric pain or discomfort that may affect patients’ comfort. The high burden of dyspeptic symptoms and the need for non-pharmacological approaches highlight the importance of developing accessible complementary therapies. Zhongwan (CV-12) is traditionally associated with gastric and digestive function; however, empirical evidence regarding its application for functional dyspepsia remains limited. This study aimed to determine changes in functional dyspepsia following acupuncture therapy at the Zhongwan point at the Independent Midwife Practice of Ni Made Sinarsari. A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was used involving 28 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Acupuncture was administered twice weekly for four weeks, totaling eight sessions. Data were collected using the Rome IV Criteria and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and analyzed using the McNemar test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Before treatment, all respondents (100%) met the criteria for functional dyspepsia. After treatment, 22 respondents (79%) no longer met the criteria, while 6 respondents (21%) remained positive (p = 0.000). The mean number of symptoms decreased from 3.85 ± 1.60 to 2.60 ± 1.25 (p = 0.000), accompanied by reduced pain intensity. Acupuncture at the Zhongwan point showed significant changes in dyspeptic symptoms and pain intensity and may be considered as a complementary approach for managing functional dyspepsia.
