Filter by:Background/Aims: Tegoprazan is a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker that has a fast onset of action and can control gastric pH for a prolonged period, which could offer clinical benefit in acid-related disorders. The investigators aimed to evaluate whether tegoprazan would be more effective in controlling symptoms than placebo in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD). Methods: This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial randomly assigned 35 patients suffering LPRD symptom to two groups: Tegoprazan50mg once daily and placebo. The primary end point was complete resolution rate of LPRD symptoms after 8-week medication, and the secondary endpoints were complete resolution rate of LPRD symptoms after 4-week medication, change of reflux symptom index (RSI) and reflux finding score (RFS) from baseline at 4- and 8-week medication.
Patients suffering from gastroesophageal reflux may suffer from both esophageal and laryngeal irritations. The investigators developed an endoscopic technique called functional endoscopy to evaluate alterations in the larynx and pharynx as well as in the esophagus simultaneously as one-stop-shop.
Reflux symptoms index (RSI) were developed to identify a clinical index of suspicion for laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) in patients with ear, nose, and throat symptoms. RSI is an efficient diagnostic tool for LPR/ It is easy to use, even for those who know little about LPR. It does not require special equipment or examinations and is inexpensive. Thus, it can be considered highly efficient and cost-effective. The study will focus on translating and testing the RSI into Kazakh language and comparing its results in healthy people and people with laryngopharyngeal reflux.
The aim of the study is to find, using validated and efficient tools, a laryngopharyngeal reflux in patients receiving polysomnography for suspected obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. It is proposed to carry out simultaneously, at the Sleep Center of the Polyclinique of Poitiers (CSPP), a polysomnography, a 24-hour Restech pharyngeal pH-metry (day and night), a Peptest (in the evening and in the morning of the polysomnography), with the RSS-12 questionnaire and the RSA score.
The investigator will issue a Patient Information Consent for the participant in the study. 1.Patients will be asked to complete the Reflux Symptom Index questionnaire. Clinical survey, medical history. 2. Objective methods for assessing the patient's condition: - examination of ENT organs. 3. Laboratory and instrumental research methods: Endoscopic laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy, pH-metry, acoustic voice analysis. 4.Sociological method. 5. Subjective methods for assessing the condition of the larynx. 6. Аnalysis of the received data
A randomized, controlled study to evaluate the safety and tolerance of an infant formula with locust bean gum in infants with regurgitation. (Solar)
This study plans to learn more about reflux associated laryngeal symptoms, and more efficient ways to diagnose and treat this condition.
A randomised, controlled, double-blind trial to evaluate the tolerance and safety of a new partly fermented anti-regurgitation infant formula containing prebiotics and locust bean gum in infants with regurgitation.
The hypothesis of this study is that a gastroesophageal reflux recommended treatment with proton pump inhibitor (dose and duration) compared to placebo significantly reduces both the signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux and comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis. Primary objective was to determine whether 8 weeks of treatment with omeprazole 20 mg ones daily (OD) significantly reduces the signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux when compared to placebo in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux with comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis. Secondary objectives were to determine whether 8 weeks of treatment with omeprazole 20 mg OD significantly reduces the signs and symptoms of comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux when compared to matching placebo; and to investigate the association of the severity of signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux with the ones of chronic rhinosinusitis in the same group of patients. The research was carried out as a double blind randomized placebo controlled trial. Patients were randomized into two groups in an approximate 1:1 ratio using a concealed random sequence. After randomization and initial assessment treatment was initialized. Patients on active treatment were given omeprazole 20 mg once daily half an hour before breakfast for 8 weeks, while those in the placebo group were given matching placebo tablets using the same regimen for 8 weeks as the group on the active treatment. Patients were reassessed at the end of treatment for signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux and comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis.
It is postulated that the incompetence of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) to restrict passage of esophageal refluxate is fundamental to the development of LPR. The UES Assist Device (UESAD) is a novel device that applies relatively modest external cricoid pressure, which results in a 20 to 30 mmHg intraluminal UES pressure increase. Pepsin, a proteolytic enzyme produced in the stomach, has been detected in the laryngeal epithelium of patients with reflux associated laryngeal symptoms and implicated in the pathogenesis of laryngopharyngeal reflux. This study will assess the effectiveness of a UESAD worn for 2 weeks on LPR symptoms and salivary pepsin levels.
