Highlights of Lead Papers from the Rome Foundation Global Epidemiology Study copy 1
A Rome Foundation Continuing Medical Education program
The groundbreaking Rome Foundation Global Epidemiology Study (RFGES) has now published over 40 papers with many others in preparation.
It serves as the reference paper for practice and research on the Disorders of Gut-Brain Interactions (DGBI) and its initial paper “Worldwide Prevalence and Burden of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, Results of Rome Foundation Global Study” is now approaching 1,000 citations, making it the leading reference in the field.
In this session of the Rome Foundation Grand Rounds, we will present an introduction to the RFGES and its methodology and highlight three of its leading papers:
-Greater Overlap of Rome IV Disorders of Gut-Brain Interactions Leads to Increased Disease Severity and Poorer Quality of Life. Presenter, Ami Sperber
-Novel Irritable Bowel Syndrome Subgroups are Reproducible in the Global Adult Population. Presenter, Chris Black
-Symptom profiles compatible with disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) in organic gastrointestinal diseases: A global population-based study. Presenter, Tom van Gils

Ami Sperber, MD, MSPH, RFF

GastroPsych Clinical Case Conference Series
A Rome Foundation Continuing Medical Education program
Patients with a wide range of gastrointestinal conditions, including functional bowel disorders, gastroparesis, chronic pancreatitis, esophageal conditions, and inflammatory bowel disease may experience brain-gut dysregulation that can impact their symptoms and/or disease experience. In an engaging and practical case series, leading experts in psychogastroenterology will discuss how to utilize psychological interventions with complex and unique GI presentations.

GastroPsych - Integrating Group Therapy into GI Behavioral Health Practice
A Rome Foundation Continuing Medical Education program
This training will provide GI behavioral health providers with a foundation of knowledge of how to integrate and then successfully maintain group therapy targeting GI symptoms and psychological well-being into their programs and/or private practices. We will discuss the benefits of group treatment for GI patients, including those with DGBI and IBD, drawing on both empirical data and our own experience (e.g., clinical efficacy and utility, productivity, time management, etc.). We will address logistical issues (e.g., recruitment, scheduling, documentation, confidentiality, the utilization of remote technology, billing, etc.), different types of groups to consider (e.g., CBT, gut-directed hypnotherapy, support groups), and particular issues which might arise with regard to each. We will also address in particular the benefits of providing groups virtually, highlighting increases in access to gastropsych care.
This education would benefit providers developing and providing psychological and behavioral treatments in an integrated practice setting, and could also be helpful for those in a private practice setting looking to diversify treatment offerings.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the empirical data supporting group treatment for GI symptoms
- List two logistical components of integrating groups into practice.
- Identify two benefits of offering group treatment for GI patients.
- Explain two clinical challenges that might arise in providing group treatment for GI patients, and how to address each.

Grand Rounds: Abdominal Bloating and Distension
This Rome Foundation Grand Rounds presentation will appeal to individuals interested in evaluating and treating one of the most prevalent cluster of gastrointestinal symptoms – gas and bloating. These symptoms develop for a variety of different reasons. They are reported by a large number of patients with disorders of gut-brain interaction, such as irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia. The cause can be elusive; the pathophysiology is complex. The speaker will provide his perspective on this disorder, based on his clinical experience treating patients with these symptoms and research in the field.
Objectives for this Grand Rounds include:
● Review the epidemiology of abdominal bloating and distension
● Appreciate the complex pathophysiology of bloating and distension
● Recognize available treatment options

Grand Rounds: Ten Questions About Functional Dyspepsia (An Interactive Case-based Illustration of New Developments)
Functional dyspepsia is one of the most common and challenging conditions in clinical practice. The last few years have seen major evolutions in the understanding of the disease, its underlying pathophysiology, and the available treatment options. The separation from gastroparesis is an ongoing topic of transatlantic and international debate.
This interactive program will use a case-based approach to reveal some of the current concepts, ongoing controversies, and new information that is likely to be presented at meetings and in the literature later this year.
The program will appeal to clinicians, medical providers, and researchers interested in understanding the complexity of upper gastrointestinal symptoms, their relationship to physiological events such as food intake, and the potential impact of novel pharmacological and dietary therapeutic interventions.

Grand Rounds: Abuse, Trauma, and Illness: What is the link?
A Rome Foundation Continuing Medical Education program
Presentation by Douglas A. Drossman, MD With special guests: Lin Chang MD & Johannah Ruddy MEd
This comprehensive program will appeal to individuals interested in unraveling the intricate interplay between abuse, trauma, and gastrointestinal illness.
Part 1 begins with a compelling case report by Dr. Drossman, recounting the journey of his adolescent patient who, having endured early trauma, developed gastrointestinal symptoms. This case spurred Dr. Drossman to pioneer the first study in the medical literature, elucidating this association.
Part 2, presented by Dr. Chang, offers an insightful research update, including her groundbreaking studies into the association between adverse childhood events and gastrointestinal illness, bringing us to the present day.
Part 3, presented by Ms. Ruddy, invites us into the realm of a patient’s experience.
Part 4 concludes the program as Dr. Drossman imparts his clinical experience and insights in caring for these patients to aid healthcare providers.
