Gastroesophageal Reflux Disorder Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effective Mechanisms of Wu-Chu-Yu Tang on Gastroesophageal Disorder
Gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) is due to gastric content reflux to esophagus cause
symptom and complication including intra-esophagus such as reflux esophagitis, and
extra-esophagus such as cough etc. Because the changes of dietary habit, and improvement of
examination skill and data analysis, the prevalence of GERD increased 2.5 multiple from 1995
to 2002, and suggesting the prevalence is 25% in Taiwan community.
The etiology of GERD is multi-effect, such as transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation
and abnormal pressure of lower esophageal sphincter, which may induced the esophageal mucosal
injury by gastric acid, bile or pancreases enzyme.
Wu-Chu-Yu tang consists of Evodia fargesii Dode (Evodia Fruit), Panax ginseng C. (Ginseng),
Ziziphus jujube Mill (Chinses Date), Zingiber officinale Rosee (Fresh Ginger).According to
"I-Fang-Chi-Chieh" and "Shanghonzobinglun" recordings that Wu-Chu-Yu tang can treat vomiting,
and also can relax gastric tonicity and can enhance peristalsis of stomach. According to
Randomized, double blind, placebo control trial to evaluate the efficacy of Wu-Chu-Yu Tang on
gastroesophageal reflux disease, we know the Wu-Chu-Yu tang have the equivalent effect proton
pump inhibitor omeprazole. But, the mechanism of Wu-Chu-Yu tang is still unknown.
