View clinical trials related to Gastroesophageal Reflux.
Filter by:The purpose of this program is to allow the use of domperidone in children from 12 to 21 years of age with symptoms related to motility disorders and Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) who have failed all the standard treatments for their condition.
The cohort registry is both retrospective and prospective, multicenter surveillance of subjects who underwent a prior hiatal hernia repair and Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation or fundoplication construction more than 2 years prior to initial study visit.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy and dose-effect relationship of X842 capsules at different dosages in the treatment of reflux esophagitis for 4 weeks in comparison with lansoprazole enteric-coated capsules.
Develop a registry (list of patients) with accurate clinical motility diagnosis. This registry will help the doctors to identify the patients with specific disease conditions. It will also help in promoting future research in gastroenterology motility disorders
The purpose of this registry study is to collect data through medical chart review and in patient visits on the efficacy and safety of various Endoscopic Bariatric therapies (EBTs). This is a retrospective and prospective, observational, medical chart review study for at least 6 standard of care visits up to 5 years after a subject consents for study participation.
Researchers are trying to identify predictors for gastroesophageal reflux disease after sleeve gastrectomy.
GERD, is a common and chronic world-wide disease. Cardinal symptoms of this condition are heartburn-regurgitation, and sometimes with extra-intestinal symptoms that can affect patients' quality of life. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) potently inhibit gastric acid secretion and are widely used for treatment of acid-related diseases. This class of medications is the most widely used for the management of GERD. H2 Receptor Antagonists (H2RAs) are another type of medication used to of uncomplicated GERD, gastric or duodenal ulcers, gastric hypersecretion, and for mild to infrequent heartburn or indigestion. H2RAs decrease gastric acid secretion by reversibly binding to histamine H2 receptors located on gastric parietal cells, thereby inhibiting the binding and action of the endogenous ligand histamine. Dietary modification is endorsed by the National Institutes of Health and the American College of Gastroenterology as a first-line therapy for patients with GERD. The Gracie Diet is thought to play an important role in the prevention of GERD. The concept behind this diet is that the consumption of proper food combinations promotes optimal health by preventing unhealthy chemical reactions in the digestive process such as fermentation and acidity. This diet describes the benefits of combining different foods together and the downsides of combining others. It provides guidance on avoiding specific foods and combinations of foods that may aggravate GERD, and adopting meal spacing habits to improve overall health outcomes. The idea is that such dietary changes support more efficient digestion and encourage healthier lifestyles (i.e. smoking cessation, elimination of alcohol intake, avoidance of soda consumption and desserts). This diet also supports the acquisition of healthy eating habits characterized by higher consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and encourages a reduction in the intake of saturated fat, sodium, added sugars, and canned foods. Limiting beverage consumption of water or fresh coconut water between meals is also encouraged. In this pilot study, the investigators hypothesized that the Gracie diet it could be an alternative option to improve GERD symptoms in those patients who do not respond to standard doses of PPI and/or H2 receptor antagonists.
Nonerosive Reflux Disease (NERD) is a common refractory gastrointestinal disease. Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), the preferred drug, have poor response, single target and poor acid inhibition effect in some patients in clinical application. Long-term use of PPI can lead to many side effects, even dependency. The main Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)syndrome types of NERD are liver-stomach depression-heat syndrome, spleen deficiency damp-heat syndrome and cold-heat complicated syndrome. TCM syndrome differentiation treatment has the advantages of overall regulation and individualized treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy advantages of syndrome differentiation series prescription combined with PPIs descending ladder withdrawal in the treatment of patients who use PPIs for a long time that can not stop, and to solve the problems of multiple side effects and dependency caused by long-term use of PPIs.
Nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) is a common refractory gastrointestinal disease. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), the first choice drug, have the following problems in clinical use: about 50 % of patients have no response to PPIs; the efficacy of simple acid suppression is poor; long-term use of PPIs can lead to indigestion, gastric polyps, atrophic gastritis, intestinal dysbacteriosis. Spleen Deficiency and Damp-heat Syndrome is one of the common clinical syndrome of NERD.TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment has the advantages of overall regulation and individualized treatment, but lack of high-level evidence. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Jianpi Qinghua Granules for treating NERD with spleen deficiency and damp heat syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to create a registry (collect data and keep it in a research database) to learn more about two methods of taking small tissue samples from your esophagus (the esophagus is the tube that carries food and liquid from your mouth to your stomach). The two methods of sampling are: 1) Using forceps that take biopsies (small tissue samples) from your esophagus, and 2) Using a brush that also takes biopsies from your esophagus.
