Psychological Dysfunction Is Associated With Symptom Severity but Not Disease Etiology or Degree of Gastric Retention in Patients With Gastroparesis.I strive to improve quality of life for patients and health care providers through development of mindfulness, resilience, engagement and advocacy.Īreas of Special Interest: Gastroparesis, Chronic Nausea, Cyclic Vomiting, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Autonomic dysfunction and Brain-gut (Tweets are my own) As part of this interest, I have served on two ad-hoc committees for the National Academy of Science (Institute of Medicine): “Development of a Consensus Case Definition for Chronic Multisystem Illness in 1990-1991 Gulf War Veterans” and “Health Care Utilization and Adults with Disabilities”. I am also interested in understanding overlapping conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome as it relates to pathophysiology and impact on gastrointestinal symptoms and outcomes. My research includes understanding the role/impact of physiologic testing on clinical care, exploring novel therapies for gastroparesis and expanding the role of neuromodulation in the treatment of GI motility disorders and pain. Disorders affecting the function of the gastrointestinal tract can lead to a variety of disorders, including gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is this intricate interconnection between the brain and the gut which drew me to the field of Neurogastroenterology & Motility. Imagine what life would be like if eating made you sick? Because we need food to survive and we are social creatures who revolve much of our lives around food, not being able to eat impacts physical, mental and social well-being. Physiatry is about patient-centred care and promotes maximizing functional capabilities to returning patients to their activities and participation in society.Food has always been a big part of my life. Suffering an acute injury or living with chronic illness can affect a person's functional capabilities. ![]() Physiatry is unique among medical fields in that its area of expertise addresses the function of the whole patient. The impairments and disabilities may result from injuries or diseases such as arthritis, musculoskeletal disorders, stroke, neuromuscular disorders, peripheral vascular disease, cerebral palsy and others. Physiatry is the branch of medicine dealing with the evaluation and treatment of patients whose functional abilities have been impaired. Nguyen specializes in musculoskeletal conditions, spasticity and chronic pain. Nguyen is a Fellow with the Royal College of Physicians of Canada (FRCPC), and an appointed Physiatrist within the Division of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Department of Medicine, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.ĭr.
