Filter by:This study evaluated the efficency and safety of the endoscopic radiofrequency procedure(Stretta) in adult gastroesophageal patients.
Response Surface Pathway (RSP) design was previously developed for dose-finding studies with one interventional and one response variable, but RSP to higher dimensions is requested. The aim of this study is to introduce and evaluate the RSP design with two interventional and one response variable exemplified by estimating Minimum Efficacy Dose (MED) of Osteopathic Manual Therapy (OMT) in treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IW-3718 administered to patients with GERD who continue to have persistent symptoms, such as heartburn and regurgitation, while receiving once-daily (QD), standard dose PPIs.

A dose block-randomized, open-label, parallel clinical trial
A Study to compare pharmacokinetics and safety of CKD-381 and D026 in healthy subjects
The purpose of this study is to investigate course of illness leading to reoperation after primary anti-reflux surgery and investigate the utilization of anti-reflux treatment, both medical and surgical, in the period 2000-2017
Citalopram is a drug used in the treatment of depressive episodes and belongs to the group of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI). Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter predominantly found in the brain and the gastrointestinal tract. Serotonin is associated with psychological disorders, including anxiety and depression, and emotion regulation and it has been shown that anxiety and depression are associated with increased severity of GERD-related symptoms. Citalopram and other SSRI's elevate the concentration of serotonin by blocking the reabsorption into the presynaptic neuron and thereby increasing the level of serotonin available to bind the postsynaptic receptor. A recent study showed beneficial effects of citalopram in patients with reflux hypersensitivity. However, there was no objective measurement for reflux nor esophageal sensitivity during the treatment period. Moreover, the effect of citalopram in patients with functional heartburn has not been studied so far. Therefore, the inevestigators will conduct a randomized, parallel, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of citalopram on the improvement in symptom severity, reflux parameters and esophageal sensitivity. 50 patients with reflux hypersensitivity and 50 patients with functional heartburn will receive either placebo or citalopram (Cipramil®) 20 mg as an add-on for a period of 8 weeks. Symptom severity will be assessed by a validated reflux questionnaire (ReQuest questionnaire and diaries), reflux parameters by performing a 24 hour impedance-pH monitoring and esophageal sensitivity using the multimodal esophageal stimulation paradigm
The researchers wish to investigate whether proton pump inhibitors, administered prior to or after surgery, can reduce the incidence and/or severity of difficulty swallowing foods and/or liquids,following anterior cervical surgery.
