Test to reduce reflux after sleeve stomach surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a treatment plan called “Sleeve-pex” can reduce heartburn and reflux after sleeve gastrectomy. If you’re planning this surgery and can complete symptom questionnaires, you may be able to join and help compare outcomes between groups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning sleeve gastrectomy (a bariatric “sleeve” operation)
- You are at least 18 years old
- You will use “ARM” only for reflux-related symptoms (not other reasons)
- You have not had prior anti-reflux surgery
- You can understand and answer symptom questionnaires during the study

This trial looks at how to predict who will develop acid reflux after a “stomach sleeve” operation. It may help doctors choose the safest plan before surgery and better prevent reflux afterward.
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.
This study checks whether a surgical “fix” (omentumpexy) can reduce acid reflux after sleeve gastrectomy. It’s mainly for adults having sleeve surgery who have a higher-risk body weight and related health problems.
This study compares two weight-loss surgeries—gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy—to see which one causes less acid reflux afterward. It may help you by tailoring which surgery is better for people with reflux symptoms before 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.
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.
