Registry for a procedure to treat long-term reflux
This is an observational study (no experimental treatment) that follows people who choose a specific procedure called transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) with the EsophyX device for long-term acid reflux. It aims to track outcomes for up to 5 years at San Raffaele Hospital.
MilanAges 18–80 - NCT03853772Enrolling by invitation
Heartburn registry for long-term symptom and care follow-up
This registry enrolls people with GERD (chronic heartburn/reflux) to track symptoms and treatments over time for up to 5 years. It may help researchers understand what works best in everyday care, and you’ll be asked to complete check-in surveys.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05216133Enrolling by invitation
Study WTC lung and reflux markers using noninvasive tests
This study looks at blood “biomarkers” and breathing/acid-reflux measurements in FDNY workers exposed to the 9/11 site to understand airway disease, Barrett’s esophagus, and reflux. It may help identify which people have hidden (underdiagnosed) reflux or lung involvement after 9/11.
New York, New YorkAges 37–90 - NCT06641375Recruiting
Heat treatment for chronic acid reflux (AREA study)
This trial tests a new way to treat GERD (chronic acid reflux) using a tiny camera and a device that delivers a gentle heat treatment (argon plasma coagulation) to the area where the stomach meets the esophagus. It's compared to a 'sham' procedure (you won't know which you get) to see if it stops acid from backing up better than medicine alone.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–70 - NCT05330910Recruiting
Repair of a stomach valve during sleeve weight-loss surgery
This trial tests whether doing a specific repair near the stomach valve (the gastroesophageal junction) during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy can help people with a loose valve. It is aimed at adults who have a particular endoscopy finding (Hill grade III) and choose this weight-loss surgery.
SingaporeAges 21–65 - NCT05870163Recruiting

GERD symptoms in Czech children study
This study asks children ages 8-9 and 12-13 about symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition where stomach acid flows back into the throat. It aims to understand how common these symptoms are.
PragueAges 8–13 - NCT04065516Enrolling by invitation
Test for reflux treatment after POEM for achalasia
This study looks at a specific treatment (“ARAT”) to help people who develop acid reflux after a procedure called POEM for achalasia. It may help reduce reflux symptoms and abnormal acid levels in the stomach/esophagus after the original procedure.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07063576RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Baclofen for persistent heartburn or regurgitation
This trial tests whether the drug baclofen can help patients who still have acid reflux symptoms (heartburn or regurgitation) despite taking standard treatments like PPIs for 8 weeks. If you've tried PPIs and still have symptoms, this may be an option.
DhakaAges 18 years+ - NCT06660342Recruiting
Safety of vonoprazan in pregnant women study
This study looks at the safety of vonoprazan (a medicine for acid reflux) when taken during pregnancy. It follows pregnant women who took the drug and those who didn't, to see how it affects mothers and their babies.
Wilmington, North CarolinaAges 15–50 - NCT07708220Recruiting
Laparoscopic treatment for acid reflux in children
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children. It aims to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for kids who have not had prior reflux surgery.
TantaAges 2–18 - NCT07718828Recruiting
Comparing two types of hernia surgery for hiatal hernia
This study compares two laparoscopic surgery methods (Nissen vs Toupet) for fixing a hiatal hernia. Both aim to stop stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus and help relieve heartburn or reflux symptoms.
Sofia, Sofia-GradAges 18–90 - NCT06783751Recruiting
New surgical method to reduce acid reflux after weight loss surgery
This trial tests a modified version of sleeve gastrectomy that aims to reduce the risk of acid reflux (GERD) after surgery. It is for people aged 18–65 with a BMI between 35 and 55 who already have some degree of GERD and are planning to have weight loss surgery.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT04358146Recruiting
Test a new formula to reduce infant spit-up
This study tests whether a new anti-regurgitation infant formula can reduce how often your baby spits up, and whether babies tolerate it well. It may help families who are feeding with formula and seeing frequent regurgitation (spit-up).
NamurAges 2 weeks–4 months - NCT04506593Recruiting
GI Motility diagnosis registry for people with digestion movement problems
This trial is a registry, meaning it collects information about people being evaluated for problems with how the gut moves. It may help doctors better diagnose gastrointestinal motility disorders in the future.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Any age - NCT04699591Recruiting
Domperidone for severe stomach movement problems
This trial looks at whether domperidone can help people ages 12–21 with symptoms from stomach not moving well when usual treatments haven’t worked. It’s designed for cases where other causes have been ruled out and patients are monitored for possible heart and hormone side effects.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 12–21 - NCT05080634Recruiting
Study acid reflux and throat irritation after POEM
This study looks at how often acid reflux (heartburn) and esophagus irritation happen after a procedure called POEM for achalasia, and what factors make it more likely. Your answers and usual tests may help researchers understand who is at higher risk and why.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT05514769Recruiting
Surgery type comparison for early-to-mid stomach cancer

Testing a pressure band to ease GERD throat and cough symptoms
This study tests whether using an “external Shaker pressure band” can reduce GERD symptoms that affect the throat and airway, like chronic cough, choking, or food coming back up. It also checks whether these people can safely tolerate the study measurements through the nose.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–85 - NCT05899842Recruiting
Compare daily versus symptom-based acid reflux medicine after POEM
This study tests whether taking a stomach acid–reducing medicine every day (a protein pump inhibitor, or PPI) works better than taking it only when symptoms happen after POEM for achalasia. It aims to prevent gastroesophageal reflux after the procedure.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05976165Recruiting
Breath testing study for small bowel bacterial overgrowth
This study checks whether breath tests can help identify small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in people with reflux-like symptoms (heartburn or regurgitation). If you qualify, you may be asked to avoid certain medicines and treatments for a short time so the test results are accurate.
