Testing a device that measures esophagus lining health
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new sensor to check how healthy the lining of your esophagus is during a routine upper endoscopy. It may help researchers understand esophageal lining injury and how well it recovers over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a routine upper endoscopy (EGD)
- Your endoscopy may or may not include a Bravo pH capsule
- You must be 18 years old or older
- You are able to give informed consent
- You cannot have taken acid-reducing medicines in the last 10 days
- You must not have Barrett’s esophagus or certain stomach/esophagus surgeries (except a slipped, non-functioning Nissen)

This study enrolls healthy adults to build a registry and biobank (collection of samples). It tests whether collecting information and biological samples from people without symptoms can help researchers understand normal stomach and esophagus function.
This study looks for noninvasive ways to measure how well your esophagus is moving. It may help doctors better evaluate swallowing and esophagus movement without relying only on invasive testing.
This study tests a new way to measure how your esophagus lining reacts to acid (called mucosal impedance) to help diagnose GERD. It's for people who still have symptoms even after taking standard medication for 8 weeks.
This trial uses a special device during an upper endoscopy to measure the electrical properties of the esophagus lining, which may help diagnose chronic reflux or swallowing problems.
This study compares two ways of placing a reflux testing probe to find which works better for women and people with a lower body mass index. You may be able to join if you have typical heartburn or regurgitation symptoms and have not had stomach or esophagus surgery.
This study uses special probes to measure the movement and pressure in your esophagus (the tube connecting your mouth to your stomach) to better understand swallowing problems like achalasia, GERD, and other conditions. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and treat these issues.
