Track 26: Neurogastroenterology 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition October 12–14, 2026 | Dubai, UAE and Online

Introduction

Neurogastroenterology is an advanced and rapidly evolving field that explores the complex interaction between the nervous system and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Often referred to as the science of the “brain-gut axis,” this specialty investigates how the brain and digestive system communicate and how disturbances in this communication can lead to various gastrointestinal disorders.

At the 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition, experts from around the globe will gather in Dubai and online to discuss the latest research, clinical advancements, and therapeutic innovations in neurogastroenterology.

What is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine focused on the digestive system and its disorders. It covers the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and rectum.

Neurogastroenterology is a specialized area within gastroenterology that studies the nervous system’s control over digestive functions.

Body Parts Involved

Neurogastroenterology primarily focuses on:

·         Esophagus

·         Stomach

·         Small intestine

·         Large intestine (colon)

·         Rectum

·         The Enteric Nervous System (ENS)

·         Brain and spinal cord

The enteric nervous system, often called the “second brain,” contains millions of neurons that independently regulate digestion while constantly communicating with the central nervous system.

Common Problems in Neurogastroenterology

Disruptions in the brain-gut axis can lead to several functional and motility disorders, including:

·         Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

·         Functional Dyspepsia

·         Gastroparesis

·         Chronic Constipation

·         Functional Heartburn

·         Fecal Incontinence

Solutions and Treatment Approaches

Management of neurogastroenterological disorders involves a multidisciplinary approach:

1. Medical Therapy

·         Prokinetic agents

·         Neuromodulators

·         Antidepressants (low-dose for gut-brain regulation)

·         Laxatives or anti-diarrheal medications

Effects on Health

Untreated neurogastrointestinal disorders can lead to:

·         Chronic abdominal pain

·         Nutritional deficiencies

·         Sleep disturbances

·         Anxiety and depression

·         Reduced productivity

·         Poor quality of life

Conclusion

Neurogastroenterology plays a vital role in understanding how the brain and gut work together to maintain digestive health. By addressing both neurological and gastrointestinal factors, healthcare professionals can offer more comprehensive and effective treatments.

The 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition will provide an excellent platform to explore breakthroughs in brain-gut research, innovative therapies, and multidisciplinary care models that are transforming patient outcomes worldwide.
