Filter by:Nine to 30% of the population suffers from gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) - suggestive symptoms (heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, chronic couch, sore throat). Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is usually the first line treatment. However 20 to 60% of patients have persistent symptoms on proton pump inhibitor. Complementary examinations are then required to determine the cause of persistent symptoms (non compliance to treatment, persistent esophageal acid exposure despite proton pump inhibitor, non acid reflux, reflux hypersensitivity, functional symptoms, rumination syndrome…). The gold standard to detect reflux episodes in patients on proton pump inhibitor therapy is 24-h ambulatory esophageal pH-impedance monitoring. Esophageal High Resolution Impedance-Manometry might help to determine gastro-esophageal reflux disease mechanisms especially when performed post prandially. Further some publications demonstrated that the number of reflux episodes detected during the post prandial period might be well correlated to the total number of reflux episodes recorded during 24 h. The hypothesis of this study is that 1-hour post prandial esophageal High Resolution Impedance-Manometry might be useful to diagnose gastro-esophageal reflux disease and can replace in some instances 24-h esophageal pH-impedance monitoring. Therefore the aim is to compare the number of reflux episodes detected with esophageal High Resolution Impedance-Manometry performed during 1-h post prandial period to the total number of reflux episodes detected during 24-h ambulatory esophageal pH-impedance monitoring.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common chronic condition, affecting approximately 20% of the American adult population. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are now the mainstay of medical therapy for symptoms of GERD. Despite their efficacy, several studies have shown that a significant proportion of GERD patients are either partial or non-responders to PPI therapy, defined as symptoms of heartburn and/or regurgitation not relieved by either a standard or double dose of a PPI during a minimum trial of 8 weeks. If GERD symptoms persist, further testing is required. This study will mirror the real world setting to assess the value of published guidelines which recommend specific testing and treatment.
The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of vonoprazan tablets in patients with gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, and reflux esophagitis in the routine clinical setting.
The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of long-term administration of vonoprazan tablets when used as maintenance therapy for reflux esophagitis in routine clinical settings.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of DWP14012 compared to esomeprazole in the treatment of erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease classified as Los Angeles(LA) classification grades A to D.
Infants often present to the hospital with episodes of coughing, choking, gagging, change in muscle tone, and/or change in skin color, known as brief resolved unexplained event. Many studies have tried to address why infants have these symptoms and if there is a way to prevent them from happening again. Currently, there is no clear agreement on the most common cause of these symptoms or how to prevent them. Some studies have suggested that gastroesophageal reflux can cause these symptoms. The investigators are conducting a study of infants who are admitted to Boston Children's Hospital with episodes of coughing, choking, gagging, change in muscle tone, and/or change in skin color, symptoms that could be reflux. The investigators want to determine if these symptoms can be prevented by changing the way infants are fed, either by giving them a formula to treat reflux or by thickening their feeds to treat reflux. The goal of the study is to determine if different types of feeding interventions prevent infants from coming back to the hospital.
The purpose of this study is to exploratorily evaluate the effect of vonoprazan 20 mg on sleep disturbance of patients with reflux esophagitis, who have heartburn and/or regurgitation and ≥ 6.0 in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) global score despite the maintenance treatment with PPI other than vonoprazan.
Linked color imaging(LCI),a new system for endoscopy modality,creates clear and bright endoscopic images by using short-wavelength narrow-band laser light combined with white laser light on the basis of magnifying blue laser imaging(BLI) technology.LCI makes red areas appear redder and white areas appear whiter.Thus,it is easier to recognize a slight difference in color of the mucosa.This is a study to assess the effectiveness of LCI for diagnosing esophageal minimal endoscopic lesions and Los Angeles classification system when compared to conventional white-light endoscopy (WLI).Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) is a common disease that be defined as a condition which develops when the reflux of stomach contents cause troublesome symptoms and/or complications.Esophageal injury was classified according to the Los Angeles classification system,Non-erosive reflux disease(NERD) is defined by the presence of troublesome reflux-associated symptoms and the absence of mucosal breaks at endoscopy,which includes minimal change oesophagitis and no endoscopic abnormalities.LCI improved the visualization of the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) by enhancing the contrast,mucosa minimal changes could be seen more easily and clearly with LCI than with standard white-light endoscopy.By comparing White-light endoscopy and LCI,it will show if there is any comparable advantage to using one or the other for lesion detection.
This study will use a 22 gene pharmacogenomics panel on 30 children with persistent Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) who have not responded to therapy.
The research aims to investigate whether trimebutine maleate combined with rabeprazole can improve the clinical efficacy in patients With refractory Los Angeles grade A or B reflux esophagitis . A total of 500 patients with Grade A or B reflux esophagitis refractory to rabeprazole will be randomly divided into two groups.One will continue to receive rabeprazole treatment,and the other group will receive extra oral trimebutine maleate 200 mg three times daily for 4 weeks. The end of the study for every patient is the improvement of main symptoms. The primary and secondary analyses are the main symptoms score, endoscopy results, Gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire（GerdQ) score,Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS) score, Athens insomnia scale and World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref(WHOQOL-BREF)scale scores at the baseline and final assessments.
