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