View clinical trials related to Gastroesophageal Reflux.
Filter by:Esophageal hypersensitivity/Functional heartburn are common among non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) patients who do not response to proton pump inhibitors. Whether tricyclic antidepressant improves NERD patient's symptoms remains unknown Aim of this randomized controlled trial study is to determine the efficacy of imipramine, which could increase esophageal pain thresholds in healthy volunteers, in comparison with placebo for treatment patients with esophageal hypersensitivity or functional heartburn evaluated by improvement of specific-symptom score and quality of life
Randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, multi-center phase 2 clinical trial to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of YH1885L in patients with non-erosive reflux disease(NERD)
The purpose of this study to assess efficacy of SE endoscopy in the detection of MCE in dyspeptic patients with or without GERD diagnosed by GerdQ or by endoscopy + PHM and in normal volunteers.
After laparoscopic total fundoplication (LTF) 12-15% of patients have persistent reflux symptoms and 20-25% develop gas-related symptoms. Reflux symptoms, gas bloating and inability to belch occurring after surgery have been associated with mixed (acid and weakly acid) (MR) or weakly acidic reflux (WAR). To date, few studies have evaluated functional outcome after LTF in patients with MR or WAR, with the majority reporting only short-term results. It has been shown that delayed gastric emptying (DGE) might also be an important factor for abdominal distension and adverse outcome after LTF.9,10 However, the correlation between poor long-term outcome after LTF and DGE is controversial. In addition, the effect of DGE in patients with MR or WAR is poorly investigated.
The purpose of this study is to determine the role of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-2a on the production of inflammatory cytokines that lead to reflux esophagitis.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Zegerid 20mg capsules and powder and Losec 20mg capsules in healthy volunteers under fasting conditions.
A random controlled study to investigate the effect of a new drug, ONO-8539, on oesophageal pain hypersensitivity in patients with gastric reflux disease
The aim of the study is to compare the Stretta procedure and the Sham procedure efficiency 6months post-procedure in reflux uncontrolled by intake of Inhibitors of Protons Pump (IPP) patients.
This is a phase 3 multicentre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, comparative study to evaluate the efficacy of esomeprazole (D961H) 20 mg twice daily and esomeprazole (D961H) 20 mg once daily in patients (in the form of esomeprazole magnesium salt) with refractory reflux esophagitis after 8 weeks of standard Proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy by assessment of presence/absence of inflammation (esophagitis) at Week 8 according to the Los Angeles (LA) classification
The most widely used operative technique for gastroesophageal reflux is total fundoplication where the gastric fundus is sutured around the distal esophagus like a wrap. This operation effectively prevents gastroesophageal reflux but gives rise to postoperative symptoms related to over-competence of the gastroesophageal junction. 40% of the operated patients experience increased flatulence and 20% dysphagia. Anterior fundoplication is an alternative technique where the distal esophagus is anchored to the crura of the hiatus esophagi and only a part of the front wall of the esophagus is covered with fundus. An anterior fundoplication is un attempt to create a more physiologic reflux control and less functional problems postoperatively. The aim with this study is to compare the results postoperatively, both short time and long time results.
