Active clinical trials for "Esophagitis, Peptic"

The purpose of this study is to assess how patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (heartburn) who are currently receiving treatment with a proton pump inhibitor but are still experiencing symptoms will benefit from a change in treatment.

Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication has established itself as the procedure of choice in the surgical management of the majority of patients suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Postoperative paraesophageal herniation has incidence ranges up to 7% in the immediate postoperative period. This randomized controlled study was scheduled to investigate the role of the posterior gastropexy, in combination with laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication, in prevention of paraesophageal herniation and improvement of postoperative results, in surgical treatment of GERD.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation ( airway clearance technique) provokes or aggravates gastro-oesophageal reflux in infants from 0 to 12 months.

A phase III, randomized, open-label, superiority study comparing the incremental product esomeprazole associated with sodium bicarbonate made by Eurofarma and Nexium® in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. The study will enroll 94 patients in each arm (total of 188 patients).

This is an open label, parallel group, multi-centre, phase III study to assess the safety and efficacy of D961H in maintenance therapy following initial healing therapy in Japanese paediatric patients with reflux esophagitis, and to assess the safety and efficacy of D961H in Japanese paediatric patients treated with long term non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or low-dose aspirin therapy who have a documented medical history of gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer diagnosis. Doses of D961H in this study is set for the 2 groups (weight more than equal 10 kg to less than 20 kg and weight more than equal 20 kg) in the maintenance therapy for healed reflux esophagitis group and the prevention of gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer recurrence by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or low-dose aspirin therapy group, Primary endpoints are evaluated at week 32. Further, this study is designed to evaluate the long term efficacy and safety of D961H for a maximum of 52 weeks, in consideration of the medical needs for long term proton pump inhibitor treatment. Patient can continue study treatment up to 52 weeks, if they want

Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GORD) and its extraoesophageal manifestations present with a variety of symptoms in both adult and paediatric populations. In children the effects of refluxate above the upper oesophageal sphincter (UES) has been implicated as a contributory factor in the underlying pathological processes of a number of conditions including apnoea, asthma, chronic cough, subglottic stenosis, chronic rhinosinusitis and otitis media. The absence of typical symptoms in addition to the inability to obtain a formal symptom history from a young paediatric population contributes to the difficulty in establishing a diagnosis. At present there are no studies or data directly measuring extraoesophageal reflux and its correlation to oesophageal pH monitoring in children. The use of twenty-four hour oesophageal pH monitoring is regarded as the established technique for diagnosis of GORD, however this technique has been less reliable for detecting extra-oesophageal reflux. The investigators intend to use the Dx-pH Measurement system, a sensitive and minimally invasive transnasal device, to assess the feasibility and validate its use in a paediatric population.

This superiority phase III study to compare the combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone with Pantoprazole isolated to the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. The hypothesis is that combination of the two medication at the unique capsule is better to the patients because decrease the quantity of times the patients need to take medicines during the day.

The goal of this prospective study is to validate a high resolution manometry score to predict pathologic GERD in patients with reflux symptoms. The main question it aims to answer is: Is it possible to predict GERD on high resolution manometry? Participants will be asked to undergo high resolution manometry and pH-study

710 / 5.000 Çeviri sonuçları Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become the most common bariatric procedure in obesity. The overall relationship between sleeve gastrectomy and gastroesophageal reflux disease is still unclear. Only acid reflux can be detected in the esophagus with a standard 24-hour pH-meter. A 24-hour pH-meter is normal in 30-50% of patients with nonerosive reflux. Impedance-pH meter, on the other hand, is a newly developed technique and determines all kinds of reflux (gas, liquid, acid and non-acid), the level of reflux and the clearance time of the esophagus. This prospective series aims to examine the relationship between LSG operation and esophago-gastric physiology using intraluminal impedance testing before and after LSG operation.

The research aims to investigate whether trimebutine maleate combined with rabeprazole can improve the clinical efficacy in patients With refractory Los Angeles grade A or B reflux esophagitis . A total of 500 patients with Grade A or B reflux esophagitis refractory to rabeprazole will be randomly divided into two groups.One will continue to receive rabeprazole treatment,and the other group will receive extra oral trimebutine maleate 200 mg three times daily for 4 weeks. The end of the study for every patient is the improvement of main symptoms. The primary and secondary analyses are the main symptoms score, endoscopy results, Gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire（GerdQ) score,Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS) score, Athens insomnia scale and World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref(WHOQOL-BREF)scale scores at the baseline and final assessments.
