Filter by:Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is increasingly prevalent today. Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the primary treatment, yet their effectiveness remains limited. Various acupuncture methods have shown promise in treating GERD. Among these, thread embedding acupuncture (TEA) and auricular acupuncture (AA) offer the advantage of prolonged treatment per intervention, significantly reducing healthcare visits for procedures, particularly beneficial for conditions requiring extended therapy. This has led to the widespread application of TEA and AA in GERD treatment. However, evidence supporting their effectiveness remains inconclusive. In this study, we aim to assess the efficacy and safety of combining TEA with AA for treating GERD. According to traditional medicine, treatment should be pattern-based. Thus, we will focus on patients exhibiting the Liver Qi Invading Stomach pattern, as reports indicate its prevalence among GERD patients.
A randomized, open-label, multiple-dose crossover phase 1 clinical trial to compare and evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics characteristics after oral administration of UI059 and UIC202201 in healthy adult volunteers
Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) is a surgical intervention for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); however, it can be followed by recurrent symptoms or complications that may affect patient satisfaction. Intraoperative endomanometric evaluation of esophagogastric competence and pressure, combined with LNF in patients with large sliding hiatus hernia (>5cm) with severe GERD (DeMeester score >100), is needed.This is a retrospective, multicenter, comparative study. Baseline characteristics, initial reflux symptoms, preoperative and postoperative antacid medication use, postoperative complications (dysphagia and gas bloat syndrome), recurrent symptoms, and satisfaction were collected from a prospective database. Outcomes measures were recurrent reflux symptoms, postoperative side-effects, and satisfaction with surgery. Quantitative data were compared between the studied groups using the independent t-test or Mann-Whitney U test for normally and non-normally distributed numerical variables, respectively
The study titled "Effectiveness of Modified Diaphragmatic Training for Improving GERD-Q Score, Diaphragmatic Excursion, Maximum Inspiratory Pressure and Lung Function in Adults With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease After Covid-19: a Single-blinded Randomized Control Trial" is a clinical trial that aimed to investigate the effectiveness of 4 weeks modified diaphragmatic training (MDT) compare with standard diaphragmatic training for improving GERD-Q score, diaphragmatic excursion, maximum inspiratory pressure, and lung function in adults with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after COVID-19. The trial was single-blinded and randomized, and it included a total of 50 participants. The results of the study showed that MDT was effective in improving GERD-Q score, diaphragmatic excursion, maximum inspiratory pressure, and lung function in adults with GERD after COVID-19.
in this study the investigators will test anew technique to mange patients with morbid obesity and GERD by doing sleeve gastrectomy plus cruroplasty and omental rape around the gastroesophageal junction
A Study to compare pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of UI058 and UIC202004 in healthy subjects
The main adverse effect is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), with concern on the development of Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma in the long term. However, the relationship between SG and GERD is complex. The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate all published data existing in the literature to evaluate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on GERD, esophagitis, BE in order to clarify the long-term clinical sequelae of this procedure. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the guidelines for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyzes (PRISMA). Published studies that contained outcome data for primary sleeve gastrectomy associated with the primary and secondary outcomes listed below were included.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the use of FLIP topography in patients undergoing evaluation for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This device allows the clinician to measure muscle activity in the esophagus during a routine upper endoscopy. The FLIP topography will be used to help detect movement disorders in the esophagus, and to examine differences in patient satisfaction between FLIP topography and the standard of care procedure, high resolution manometry (HRM).
