Active clinical trials for "Gastroesophageal Reflux"

The objective of this Observational study is to evaluate hygiene-dietetic habits as co-adjuvant treatment of the pharmacologic therapy use to treat Gastroesophageal Reflux.

We hypothesize that melatonin as compared to PPI and to placebo, improves GERD symptoms by decreasing esophageal acid exposure and esophageal acid sensitivity in GERD. We hypothesize that melatonin as compared to PPI and to placebo reduce the frequency and duration of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs). In addition we hypothesize that melatonin as compared to PPI and to placebo improves quality of life and quality of sleep of GERD patients.

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic Nissen against anterior partial fundoplication in the control of gastroesophageal reflux disease among Chinese patients Study hypothesis Laparoscopic Nissen is comparable to anterior partial fundoplication in the control of gastroesophageal reflux disease

Melanole, a Nigella sativa (Black Seed) extract , is studied for the treatment of GERD. Participants, who meet the inclusion criteria, will be divided into two arms. Arm 1: Subjects who meet criteria for GERD will undergo 24 hour pH monitoring. Arm 2: Subjects who meet criteria for GERD and who undergo only symptomatic monitoring of GERD on treatment. All participants will be evaluated before and after the administration of the study product.

Among those patients experienced GERD symptoms, up to 89% report nocturnal symptoms, resulting in poor sleep quality. Sodium alginate oral suspension (Alginos) is a medication indicated for the relief of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms. This multi-center, open-label, randomized trial intends to compare the addition of one dose Alginos (50mg/ml, 20ml) at bed time (Nexium plus Alginos), with no additional alginate treatment (Nexium alone), in erosive GERD patients taking Nexium (40mg/tablet) daily for 4 weeks. Efficacy endpoints include percentage of patients with relief or complete resolution of nighttime heartburn (or regurgitation), percentage of patients with relief or complete resolution of GERD-related sleep disturbance, the percentage of nights without nighttime heartburn (or regurgitation) over treatment period, change from baseline of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire total score, and change of the percentage of patients with relief of nighttime heartburn (or regurgitation) at post-treatment visit as compared to final visit in test group (Nexium plus Alginos). Safety endpoint is incidence of adverse events. The study hypothesis is that sodium alginate plus esomeprazole is superior to esomeprazole alone in relieving nighttime reflux symptoms and sleep disturbance in erosive GERD patients.

Lesogaberan may be used in Chinese GERD patients with partial response to PPI.

This clinical study hypothesized that S-pantoprazole 10mg would be effective to treat Non erosive Reflux Disease than placebo.

This study is being done to help understand why some people with an increased amount of central obesity, without gastroesophageal reflux, develop changes to the lining of their esophagus that can potentially lead to esophageal adenocarcinoma (cancer).

This trial is to study the aspects of nutrition in children and adolescents with GERD compared to the sex and age-matched control group

The aim of this study was to evaluate 24-hour pH monitoring results before and after gastrostomy in neurological impaired (NI) children who underwent gastrostomy or Nissen fundoplication (NF) concurrently with gastrostomy.
