Endoscopic surgery for long-term reflux using a special system
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an endoscopic fundoplication procedure (a reflux surgery done through the scope) using the MUSE system can better control long-term reflux symptoms. It likely fits people with chronic reflux confirmed by testing who may be candidates for surgical treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have reflux-related symptoms for more than 6 months
- Your reflux is confirmed by testing (endoscopy and/or pH-impedance study)
- Your doctor says you are a good candidate for a reflux surgery called fundoplication
- You can return for long-term follow-up visits
- You do not have a large hiatal hernia (3 cm or bigger)

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.
This study checks how well a swallowing test called high-resolution manometry works after partial anti-reflux surgery. It focuses on adults with certain abnormal esophagus muscle patterns to help doctors understand what to expect after the operation.
This trial compares a new device called RefluxStop to a standard surgery (Nissen fundoplication) for treating long-term acid reflux. It aims to see which one works better at stopping heartburn and other symptoms.
This trial studies an endoscopic procedure to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in people who had gastric sleeve surgery. It may help if reflux symptoms are not controlled on once-daily acid medicine (PPI) or if you cannot tolerate it and want an alternative.
This trial compares two surgical treatments for acid reflux (GERD) that isn't well controlled with medication. It tests if the LINX device (a magnetic ring around the esophagus) works as well or better than fundoplication (a stomach wrap). It may help people who need surgery for reflux.
This trial tests a newer, less invasive surgical procedure called TIF (Transoral Incisional Fundoplication) for patients with severe acid reflux and regurgitation that hasn't improved with high-dose medications. The procedure is done through the mouth rather than the abdomen, and researchers will follow patients for 5 years to see if it works and is safe in Asian populations.
