The study objective is to evaluate the relative merits, safety and effectiveness of Anti-reflux mucosal valvuloplasty (ARMV) in GERD patients currently treated with daily Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs).
Existing current tests for diagnosing GERD are suboptimal because they lack adequate sensitivity or specificity. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is highly specific for diagnosing GERD, particularly when erosive esophagitis is present (Los Angeles Classification B, C, or D). Nevertheless, its sensitivity is limited, as this scenario is only present in 30% of cases. Most patients will exhibit normal endoscopic findings, indicating Non-Erosive Reflux Disease (NERD). The 24-hour impedance-pH monitoring (MII) is currently considered the gold standard. However, its main limitation is that it can only measure reflux activity over a 24-hour period, in addition to the discomfort caused by the catheter. 6-8 It is noteworthy that 50% of patients with NERD will have pathological reflux, and the other 50% will have a sensory disorder. The importance of making an accurate diagnosis lies in the treatment, which varies in each case.11 Recently, a minimally invasive device was developed and validated in the USA to assess changes in esophageal mucosal impedance. This serves as a tool for evaluating tissue changes associated with chronic reflux. However, this device has recently undergone improvements. This new technology has not been tested yet for GERD diagnosis. The primary benefit would be the ability to diagnose GERD in symptomatic patients with NERD during the initial endoscopy conducted under sedation. Objectives The Main objectives of this study are to: 1. Evaluate the diagnostic performance of mucosal impedance measurement. 2. Investigate the mucosal impedance pattern in patients with and without GERD. Secondary objectives: 1. Evaluate the correlation between the global mucosal impedance measurement vs the first 3cm measurement 2. Evaluate the best probability score to distinguish between GERD and non-GERD Design Prospective, cross-sectional, and analytical study Study Design and Procedures The study will be conducted in the Gastroenterology Department of the Hospital de Clínicas José de San Martin, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Following a 4-week screening period during which a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) washout will be performed, and baseline measurements will be taken, all patients will undergo upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with mucosal impedance measurement and 24-hour impedance/pH monitoring.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block on Pharyngeal Dysphagia Induced by Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block improve dysphagia caused by gastroesophageal reflux symptoms on the basis of rehabilitation training? Participants will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block once a day additionally. The study lasts 20 days for each participant. Researchers will compare the Rosenbek penetration-aspiration scale, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire, Pressure pain threshold, to see if the Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block can help improve the symptom.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Stellate Ganglion Block on Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can stellate ganglion block improve gastroesophageal reflux symptoms better on the basis of rehabilitation training? Participants will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Stellate Ganglion Block once a day additionally. The study lasts 20 days for each participant. Researchers will compare the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire, Pressure pain threshold, Self-Evaluation Questionnaire for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, to see if the Stellate Ganglion Block can help improve the symptom.

Researchers will compare the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire, Pressure pain threshold, Self-Evaluation Questionnaire for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, to see if the Stellate Ganglion Block can help improve the symptom.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease in infants is not fully understood. Infants are prescribed medical treatments that may not be effective or that contribute to adverse side effects and lead to concerns and expenses for the parents and healthcare system. Current guidelines recommend cow-milk-protein free diet as a first-line treatment, but these recommendations are based on weak evidence. This study investigate the efficacy of a cow-milk-protein free diet compared to treatment with a proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole)
To study the prevalence of hiatus hernia in GERD patients underwent upper endoscopy To study the effect of hiatus hernia on the severity of GERD symptoms.
Endoscopic full-thickness plication (EFTP) of cardia/fundus has been shown effective in treating GERD patients. However, EFTP requires proprietary equipment that are not available in many countries. Here, we designed a metal clip and endoloop mediated cardioplication (ECLC) procedure to achieve EFTP.
